Penumbra’s RED Reperfusion Catheters (RED 72, RED 68, and RED 62) are intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Every case is different, and the RED family of catheters provides a full range of products designed to optimize lumen size and trackability for the situation. All three products feature new REDglide technology which is designed to improve catheter interaction with vessels and to enhance delivery in tortuosity.
