Ultrasound thrombolysis system catheter, peripheral (A flexible tube designed for the percutaneous intravascular administration of high-frequency, low-energy ultrasound and drugs [e.g., tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)] for the disruption of clotted blood (i.e., a thrombus or thromboembolus) in a peripheral artery. It typically consists of a side-hole drug infusion catheter with a multi-element ultrasound core wire. The ultrasound is intended to prepare the clot by unwinding the fibrin strands, therefore enabling increased drug permeation through the clot to the vessel wall. It is a component of a system that includes a control unit to deliver the ultrasound. This is a single-use device.)
