Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency approves Rotarex®S and Aspirex®S catheter systems
Wangs (Switzerland), September 18th, 2014 – Straub Medical AG announced today that the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency ANVISA has approved the Rotarex®S and Aspirex®S rotational catheter systems. These endovascular rotational catheters restore blood flow in occluded blood vessels by removing occlusion material from the vessel. The catheter systems are used by specialized medical professionals such as vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and other endovascular specialists during minimally invasive procedures known as endovascular interventions.
Ricardo Aun, MD, Vascular Surgeon at Albert Einstein Hospital São Paulo and Associate Professor in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Universidade de São Paulo, welcomes ANVISA’s decision: “Rotarex®S and Aspirex®S rotational catheter systems are internationally established standard treatments for arterial and venous occlusive disease. With the ANVISA approval, endovascular specialists throughout Brazil can now use these catheter systems to treat a large variety of vascular occlusions in their patients.”
Straub Medical AG has mandated Tecmedic Produtos Médicos Ltda. in Curitiba with distribution and service of its products in Brazil. Francois Nigro and Thomas Bonetti, Directors at Tecmedic, are excited about this addition to their portfolio: “We supply a comprehensive portfolio of products and services to vascular specialists in all regions of Brazil. Rotarex®S and Aspirex®S perfectly match with our promise to provide interventionists with the tools they need to effectively help their patients.”
