AngioJet™

Peripheral Thrombectomy System

Mechanism of Action

The Bernoulli Effect explains the relationship between velocity and pressure

1. The AngioJet™ Console monitors and controls the system. 

2. The console energizes the pump which sends pressurized saline to the catheter tip. 

3. Saline jets travel backwards to create a low pressure zone causing a vacuum effect.

4. Thrombus is drawn into the in-flow windows and the jets push the thrombus back down the catheter.

5. Thrombus is drawn into the catheter where it is fragmented by the jets and evacuated from the body. (Image step 5)
