    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Solid embolic particles are crucial for various interventional procedures.
    • Current methods for delivering embolic particles can be complex and prone to complications.
    • There is a need for improved delivery systems that offer precision and ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new, simple, and effective introducer device for solid embolic particles.
    • To describe the design features that enhance the safe and accurate delivery of emboli.
    • To highlight the usability and efficiency of the novel introducer system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel introducer system comprising Teflon tubing and a backflow-limiting end adaptor.
    • Incorporation of size-coded, preselected diameters for precise particle compatibility.
    • Inclusion of sterilization caps for aseptic handling and storage.

    Main Results:

    • The introducer effectively prevents particle overriding due to precisely sized Teflon tubing.
    • The backflow-limiting end adaptor minimizes unintended particle migration.
    • The device facilitates the controlled introduction of 1 to 30 embolic particles per session.
    • Size-coded design enhances ease of use and reduces procedural time.

    Conclusions:

    • The new introducer offers a simple, safe, and efficient method for delivering solid embolic particles.
    • This device has the potential to improve outcomes in embolization procedures.
    • The design addresses key challenges in embolic particle delivery, promoting wider clinical adoption.
