About Obsidio

About Obsidio™ Conformable Embolic

Obsidio Conformable Embolic is a 510(k) cleared device with shear-thinning technology, the first embolic of its kind to have a specific on-label indication for peripheral use in the U.S. Obsidio Embolic is indicated for use in the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow for controlling bleeding/hemorrhaging in the peripheral vasculature.

What is conformable?

Conformable means that Obsidio Embolic conforms to the anatomy (similar to a liquid embolic), but it also conforms to user input, i.e., based on injection forces, an operator is able to create different embolic effects.

How does Obsidio Embolic work?

Four non-toxic ingredients, packaged in a 1 mL (1 cc) ready-to-use syringe, combine via a process called shear thinning to occlude the vessel. 

The material comes in a pre-mixed syringe.

When force is applied, the material flows through the catheter like a liquid.

When force is removed, the material returns to a soft solid to immediately occlude the vessel.

How is Obsidio Embolic different?

Unlike liquid embolics, Obsidio brings easy prep, controlled delivery, and an improved patient experience.

Obsidio Conformable Embolic rapid hemostasis.

Rapid hemostasis - Occludes in seconds

Coils: Only fill 20-30% of the vessel and rely on thrombus formation. 

Obsidio: Creates a 100% physical barrier to stop blood flow in seconds. 

Obsidio Conformable Embolic easy preparation.

Easy preparation - Comes in a pre-mixed 1mL syringe.

Obsidio Conformable Embolic time insensitive.

Time insensitive - Non-adhesive, no entrapment risk

Obsidio Conformable Embolic enhanced visualization.

Enhanced visualization - Less tantalum, clearer CT scans

Obsidio Conformable Embolic controlled delivery.

Controlled delivery - Start and stop via shear thinning

Obsidio Conformable Embolic patient experience.

Positive patient experience

No pain. No odor. No DMSO.

Comparison chart showing Obsidio features the following, while liquid embolics do not: Rapid Hemostasis: Occludes in seconds, Easy Preparation: Pre-mixed 1mL syringes, Time Insensitive: Non-adhesive, no entrapment risk, Enhanced Visualization: No CT artifacts, Controlled Delivery: Start-and-stop via shear thinning, Patient Experience: No pain or odor, Retractable/Repositionable: Ability to reposition the embolic liquid.
