Interventions
The Angel® Catheter is a temporary device that combines the functions of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and a 3-lumen central venous catheter (CVC). The device can be placed at the bedside into the inferior vena cava via the femoral vein for the prevention of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and for access to the central venous system. The device is intended for short-term (less than 30 days) vascular access via the femoral vein.
