Balloon embolectomy/thrombectomy catheters designed for use in the veins. These catheters usually include a long, soft distal tip that permits passage through the venous valves, minimizing injury. Venous embolectomy/thrombectomy catheters are used for retrograde extraction of emboli in small- and large-diameter veins (typical catheter diameters are 6 and 8 Fr), especially in the lower limbs, by introduction through the femoral vein.
