Penumbra® ACE (Aspirating Catheter for Embolic Mechanical Thrombectomy)

The Penumbra® ACE is a specialized medical device used during stroke treatment to remove blood clots from brain arteries. It functions like a tiny vacuum catheter that gently aspirates, or suctions out, the clot causing the stroke. Designed for precision and safety, the ACE catheter navigates through blood vessels to reach and clear the blockage efficiently, restoring blood flow to the brain. This minimally invasive tool helps improve outcomes for patients suffering from ischemic strokes by quickly and effectively removing the clot so that brain tissue is protected from damage.
