The Power of Penumbra

Penumbra® - an interventional system for removing large clots in the brain when treatment with tPA is not appropriate or appears to be ineffective.  The Penumbra® Stroke System uses a microcatheter in conjunction with an internal separator to aspirate and break up the clot and rapidly restore blood flow in the brain and limit damage caused by stroke.  Unlike clot dissolving drugs which must be administered within a short three-hour treatment window, the Penumbra can be used within eight hours of symptom onset.
