Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Combines catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion with ultrasound energy delivered along the treatment segment. Typical applications include pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, and selected arterial thrombolysis workflows.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
EKOS™ adds ultrasound energy to catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion, distinguishing it from a standard multi-side-hole lysis catheter that relies on infusion alone.
