Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Mechanically disrupts and clears thrombus from an AV graft or fistula during dialysis-access declot procedures, typically before angioplasty or other treatment of the underlying stenosis.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
Cleaner® and Trerotola® systems use different rotating elements but share the same core principle of mechanically disrupting thrombus within the dialysis access circuit.
