Embolization Catheters

Embolization catheters are specialized tubes used by medical professionals to deliver materials inside blood vessels. Their primary purpose is to block or reduce blood flow to specific areas, such as tumors or abnormal vessels, to treat conditions like bleeding, aneurysms, or cancer. During the procedure, the catheter is inserted into the blood vessel and guided to the target area. Once in place, doctors release tiny embolic agents—such as coils or particles—that cause the vessel to close off or shrink. This minimally invasive technique helps manage health issues effectively while reducing the need for open surgery.
