Option™ELITE Inferior Vena Cava Filter System
The OptionELITE inferior vena cava filter protects against recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). It can be retrieved or remain implanted depending on whether the patient needs short-term or long-term PE protection. With over six years of positive, consistent and proven clinical performance, the OptionELITE filter has a unique anchoring system that makes retrievals easier. The OptionELITE is now cleared for delivery using a standard or over-the-wire technique via jugular, femoral, antecubital, or popliteal access.
