Overview

The Amplatz Goose Neck™ snare and microsnare, with their 90° angled loop and nitinol design, allow for optimal wall apposition and ideal capture ability in the peripheral vasculature. Choose from a wide variety of sizes for optimal retrieval and reduced manipulation time within large or small vessels.

Indications

Manipulation procedures include indwelling venous catheter repositioning, indwelling venous catheter fibrin sheath stripping, and central venous access venipuncture procedure assistance.

The Amplatz Goose Neck microsnare is intended for use in the retrieval and manipulation of atraumatic foreign bodies located in the coronary and peripheral cardiovascular system and the extra-cranial neurovascular anatomy. 

Product details

Amplatz Goose Neck™ snare kit

The Amplatz Goose Neck™ snare kit contains one Goose Neck snare catheter, introducer, and torque device. The preformed snare loop can be introduced through catheters without risk of snare deformation because of the superelastic construction.

  • Superelastic and shape memory properties of nitinol provide kink resistance.
  • Ideal for challenging or unplanned foreign body retrieval and manipulation cases.
  • Snare catheter contains a platinum-iridium radiopaque marker band.
