Spinner Thrombectomy Device for Pulmonary Embolism Treatment

Stanford researchers in the Zhao Lab have developed a mechanical thrombectomy device for Pulmonary Embolism (PE) that mechanically debulks and reduces volume of large clots without causing fragmentation.

This action is enabled by the rotational motion of the dissolver device. As the device comes into contact with a clot, the rapid spinning of the device leads to a volume reduction of the clot.
