Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Used to position and deploy an inferior vena cava filter at the planned caval level after venographic or cross-sectional assessment.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
The delivery system controls filter orientation and release during implantation, whereas the retrieval sheath is a separate coaxial system used later to collapse and remove a retrievable filter.
