The IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug is indicated to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.

The IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug is a shape memory polymer plug. The porous embolic scaffold supports the rapid formation of small interconnected clots throughout its structure. The biocompatible and non-inflammatory polymer promotes rapid conversion to organized thrombus, followed by collagen deposition without chronic active inflammation, which leads to a stable occlusion.
High Embolic Material Volume, Inherent High Packing Density
Vascular plugs predictably and effectively fill space in a short time, generally leading to shorter procedure times and less radiation exposure. Each IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug offers a high embolic material volume and inherent 100% packing density. Packing density has been shown to be an important factor in avoiding recanalization.*

Minimal Artifact
The shape memory polymer portion of the device has no artifact.
