Sofia 88 expands the company’s stroke portfolio with a new large-bore catheter engineered for reliability, flexibility and physician control. The company says its launch builds upon the proven performance and legacy of the Sofia catheter line. Sofia catheters have supported more than 500,000 procedures across 170 countries over the past decade.
Terumo Neuro says its latest catheter leverages a decade of neurovascular catheter innovation, physician partnerships and proven clinical performance. With an 0.088-inch innter diameter, it has proprietary engineering enhancements supporting several new benefits.
Those benefits include reliable trackability through challenging anatomy via optimized transition zones and a soft, atraumatic distal tip. Proximal stability delivers procedural ease with both short and long sheaths. Meanwhile, flexibility and reinforcement throughout the working length minimizes vessel trauma and supports smooth navigation.
Sofia 88 has compatibility with the Sofia Flow Plus 6F aspiration catheter and supports integration into existing aspiration strategies.
“As we introduce the Sofia 88 neurovascular support catheter, we are building on a decade of performance that physicians around the world have come to trust,” said Carsten Schroeder, president and CEO of Terumo Neuro. “This launch reflects our continued investment in neurovascular innovation, made possible through direct collaboration with physicians and our strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities. Together, we are delivering meaningful advancements in stroke care designed to improve outcomes for patients worldwide.”
