Product
The Neurescue device is the first intelligent fluoroscopy-free balloon catheter that can be used where patients need it the most - to redirect blood flow to the brain & heart for cardiac arrest patients.
The patented Neurescue device enables safe fluoroscopy-free occlusion, with automated filling & computer feedback that protects against mis-positioning.
It is a single-use kit. This enables new clinical pathways previously not possible - bedside, intensive care, ER or out-of-hospital - enabling to 1) increase the immediate chance of resuscitation from cardiac arrest 2) bridge many more of such patients to definitive treatments intra-arrest - such as ECMO, stents or pacemakers - than is possible today.
The Neurescue™ Device offers a breakthrough intelligent & fluoroscopy-free balloon catheter, allowing for safe aortic balloon occlusion - to redirect blood flow to the brain & heart for cardiac arrest patients; allowing more patients to 1) achieve immediate resuscitation from cardiac arrest 2) bridge many more of such patients to definitive treatments intra-arrest - such as ECMO, stents or pacemakers. Within the current standard of treatment, there are no alternatives for the majority of patients who do not respond to CPR and defibrillation.
Today the standard of care for treating cardiac arrest patients consists of chest compressions, ventilation and defibrillation, and the majority do not survive this treatment. The NEURESCUE device is being investigated as an adjunct to existing treatment, with the potential to increase survival and neurological outcome.
During on-going chest compressions, a blood vessel in the leg (the femoral artery) is accessed with a sheath. The NEURESCUE device is inserted into this sheath. The device ensures safe inflation and aids with feedback. The intention of this step is to increase the chance of immediate resuscitation by increasing the blood flow to the heart and to protect the brain by increasing the blood flow to the brain. Furthermore this step may bridge the patient to advanced care, such as bypass surgery or prolonged resuscitation with a heart-lung machine.
Features highlights
Automated inflation and deflation
No estimation or second-guessing. Our automated inflation and deflation ensures a secure and soft occlusion based on objective criteria from beginning to end of the procedure.
Pressure safety
by design
Our proprietary pressure-limited filling protects against over-inflation, rupture and unintended pressure from the balloon.
Designed for
Emergency Use
With a portable package and a minimal number of user steps to a successful occlusion, the NEURESCUE device is designed for the emergency setting.
