Penumbra’s Indigo® Aspiration System, launched in 2014, is designed to remove clot from arteries and veins in the peripheral vasculature, and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
System Overview
A minimally-invasive device, Indigo System enables the restoration of blood flow in such cases as acute limb ischemia and venous thrombus. The Indigo System utilizes the Penumbra ENGINE® Aspiration Source capable of delivering nearly pure, continuous vacuum (-29 inHg or 98.2 kPa) to our catheters, enabling thrombus removal in vessels of various sizes. The Indigo System with Lightning® Aspiration Tubing is a computer-aided aspiration system powered by Penumbra ENGINE.
