Thrombectomy devices
Liberant™ thrombectomy system
<p>The Liberant™ device is an ultrasonic-controlled thrombectomy system for use in the peripheral arterial and venous vessels.</p>
Indication: The Liberant™ thrombectomy system is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli or thrombi from the vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems.

Precision you can feel in your thrombectomy procedures
An intuitive, adaptive, and comprehensive thrombectomy system
This system includes a catheter, dilator, and clotbuster — all in one set. The pump and BCU come as capital components to be used case after case.

system BCU
Adapts to real data in real time
The BCU features an ultrasonic sensor that directly measures blood flow. Next, an intelligent algorithm automatically adapts the pulse rate to provide appropriate aspiration power, with two modes available.
35% less blood loss
in bench testing with
ovine blood†,1
Standard mode (green light)
Used to minimize blood loss by maintaining a lower pulse rate
Boost mode (purple light)
Used for procedural efficiency by allowing an increased pulse rate
Risks include, but are not limited to, embolization, hemorrhage, thrombosis, and vessel damage.
Ultimate control in your hands
The catheters are easy to deliver with an atraumatic and angled tip‡ for more effective,§ wall-to-wall clot removal.1 A hybrid braid-coil design improves torque response.◊,1

- Hybrid coil design
- Clotbuster assists with fragmentation of thrombus and clearing of the catheter lumen if blocked
- Dilator offers support during delivery of the catheter and minimizes vessel wall trauma while advancing to the site of the thrombus
- Angled tip
Proven performance, vessel by vessel2
Available in
three French sizes,
allowing for flexibility in the treatment of arterial, venous, and arteriovenous vessels
- 6 Fr
- 8 Fr Short
- 8 Fr Long
- 12 Fr
Liberant™ RX aspiration catheter
is available in 5 Fr for the treatment of arterial vessels.
BCU intended for direct use with 6 Fr, 8 Fr Short and Long, and 12 Fr catheters and is not intended for direct use with Liberant™ RX aspirational 5 Fr catheter.
Frequently asked questions
Thrombectomy is a procedure to remove a blood clot (called a thrombus) from a blood vessel. Blood clots can block the flow of blood, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening if not treated quickly.
The Liberant™ device is the sole thrombectomy system that uses ultrasonic control. It dynamically adjusts the aspiration power in real time based on the blood flow measurements obtained directly from its ultrasonic sensor.
The BCU, part of the Liberant™ thrombectomy system, features an ultrasonic sensor that measures blood flow directly and processes data in real time with an intelligent algorithm. This enables the pinch valve to open and close, adjusting the aspiration power dynamically.
The BCU has two operating modes:
- Standard mode is used to minimize blood loss by maintaining a lower pulse rate.
- Boost mode is used for procedural efficiency by allowing an increased pulse rate.
Risks include, but are not limited to, embolization, hemorrhage, thrombosis, and vessel damage.
