Varian has announced an exclusive US distribution agreement with Innova Vascular, Inc., a medical device company engaged in the development of innovative minimally invasive devices for treating vascular disease, including its Laguna Thrombectomy System which is designed to treat venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant medical condition characterized by the formation of blood clots within the deep venous system. As many as 600,000 VTEs occur each year in the United States alone[1].

Patients with cancer are at an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which could result in pulmonary embolism (PE), a life-threatening condition. The effects of DVT and PE, even when not life-threatening, can have a significant negative impact on an individual's quality of life. The Laguna Thrombectomy System consists of the Malibu Aspiration Catheter System and the Laguna Clot Retriever System, which are designed to optimize clot extraction procedures even in the most challenging cases.

With a simplified set-up process, physicians can quickly navigate the catheter through complex anatomy with confidence. With its excellent flexibility and trackability, and comprehensive range of sizes, the Laguna Thrombectomy System enables treatment of a wide range of patients and clot morphologies.
