Medtronic React 68 Aspiration Catheter

Medtronic React™ Aspiration Catheter
The Medtronic React™ Aspiration Catheter is an advanced neurovascular aspiration catheter designed to support mechanical thrombectomy procedures for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions.

Engineered to deliver powerful aspiration and smooth vessel navigation, the React™ catheter enables physicians to remove thrombus efficiently and restore cerebral blood flow during time-critical stroke interventions.

Developed as part of Medtronic’s comprehensive stroke treatment portfolio, the React™ system is frequently used in direct aspiration first-pass technique (ADAPT) or in combination with stent retrievers to achieve high recanalization success rates in complex neurovascular anatomy.

Key Features & Benefits
Large-Bore Aspiration Design: Optimized inner lumen improves clot ingestion and aspiration efficiency during thrombectomy procedures.
Coil + Braid Reinforced Construction: Provides a balance of navigability, pushability, and structural durability.
End-to-End Nitinol Structure: Maintains catheter integrity and shape during multiple passes in complex procedures.
Smooth Vessel Navigation: Designed to reach challenging intracranial targets such as M1 and M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery.
Compatibility with Aspiration Systems: Works with aspiration pumps such as the Riptide™ aspiration system for controlled clot removal.
Multiple Catheter Sizes Available: Common configurations include React™ 68 and React™ 71, offering large inner diameters for enhanced aspiration performance.

Clinical Applications
The Medtronic React™ Aspiration Catheter is commonly used for:
Mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke
Removal of thrombus or emboli from the neurovascular arterial system
Revascularization of occluded cerebral vessels
Combination therapy with stent retrievers in neurointerventional procedures

React™ catheters are indicated for the introduction of interventional devices and aspiration of emboli or thrombi from selected arterial blood vessels, including the neurovasculature.
