The Pounce™ Thrombectomy System

“These days, it’s very rare for me to use anything else besides the Pounce™ Thrombectomy System for mechanical thrombectomy.”

Dr. Vince Weaver, Vascular Surgeon
Vascular Specialty Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Pounce system is a mechanical thrombectomy device developed for the non-surgical removal of thrombi and emboli from the peripheral arterial vasculature. The Pounce system includes a delivery catheter, two baskets, and a funnel.

2mm–4mm vessel diameter
Below-the-knee arterial
thrombi and emboli

Delivery Catheter

.018” Guidewire compatible
150 cm Working length

Baskets

4 mm Diameter baskets
.020" Diameter core wire

3.5mm–6mm vessel diameter
Femoral-popliteal, upper extremity, mesenteric, and other peripheral arterial thrombi and emboli

Delivery Catheter

.035” Guidewire compatible
135 cm Working length

Baskets

6 mm Diameter baskets
.026" Diameter core wire

Funnel

7 mm diameter, 6.5 cm long funnel to capture baskets and entrain clot.

How it works

The basket wire is delivered distal to the location of the thrombus, deploying two nitinol self-expanding baskets.

The baskets capture the clot and are retracted into a nitinol collection funnel.

With the clot entrained, the system is retracted into a minimum 7 Fr guide sheath through which the clot is withdrawn and removed from the body.

Successful removal of ATK and BTK arterial clot using the Pounce™ platform

“We promptly removed acute and subacute thrombus from the mid-peroneal artery below the knee with no adjunctive use of thrombolytics and no embolization."
