Overview

The Solitaire™ device has become the most-published stent retriever with over 200 publications demonstrating clinically proven, tried-and-true performance.1,2
The Solitaire™ X device has a unique parametric design that has been fundamental to the generations of the Solitaire™ portfolio.

  • This overlap design allows the stent to expand and compress in the vessel during deployment and retrieval. 
  • The distinctive, evenly spaced platinum markers enable accurate alignment and feedback during the procedure with a three-dimensional perspective.3* 

Comprehensive Acute
Ischemic Stroke Portfolio

Solitaire™ X is integral in Medtronic’s wide-ranging AIS portfolio, offering responsive and complete solutions to better support your AIS patients.

Solitaire™ X works alongside a collection of agile products to deliver combination therapy as a proven data-backed approach.1

The benefits are clear with a 43.3% mTICI 2c-3 single pass using the combination technique.1 Our AIS portfolio features state-of-the-art products to enhance your AIS clinical offering:

  • Phenom™ 21 and Phenom™ 27 Catheter
  • React™ 68 and React™ 71 Catheter
  • Riptide™ Aspiration System
  • Cello™ Balloon Guide Catheter†

Encapsulate the clot without damaging the wall9†

Differentiated radial outward force promotes clot and vessel wall contact during retrieval with the optimal amount of radial force.10*

Solitaire™ X differentiated outward force - 3x20

Solitaire™ X differentiated outward force - 4x40

Solitaire™ X differentiated outward force - 6x40

Clinical evidence

Optimize outcomes by minimizing the number of passes11-13

A large real-world patient cohort demonstrated a first pass effect (FPE) rate of 40.5% and a modified FPE (mFPE) rate of 58.9% across patients treated with the Solitaire™ device.14‡
