Emblok 360° Whole Body Embolic Protection is designed to capture and remove embolic material, protecting patients during TAVR procedures. Emblok is engineered and optimized for comprehensive embolic capture.
The Emblok system is advanced to the aortic arch over an .035 stiff guidewire. The pigtail is then advanced and positioned past the BCA. The guidewire is removed, contrast is injected through the pigtail to locate the brachiocephalic artery (BCA). Once the ostium of the BCA has been identified, advance the Emblok filter catheter by reinserting the .035 wire within the pigtail and advance until the distal radiopaque marker is just proximal to the BCA.
To deploy the filter, the blue button slides back to fully unsheath the filter and the orange button is advanced between the 25 and 40mm marker on the deployment handle to provide optimal wall apposition for full protection during the TAVR procedure.
The Emblok System maintains position and allows blood to flow through the filter during the index procedure, ensuring whole body protection and debris collection from start to finish.
To close the filter, depress and retract the orange button until it stops and locks (the operator should feel the button shift upward into the locked position). Stabilize the Emblok System Handle, press and slowly advance the blue button distally to the distal end of the slot into the locked position to completely re-sheath the filter (the operator should feel the button shift upward into the locked position). With the Filter re-sheathed, advance the .035 guidewire into the pigtail catheter until the guidewire extends out of the pigtail catheter and straightens the pigtail. Retrieve the Emblok system over the .035 stiff guidewire and remove from the femoral access site.
