Adient Medical - Absorbable Vascular Filter

Adient Medical is leading the development of an absorbable vascular filter for the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE), a leading cause of death in the US claiming the lives of over 100,000  Americans annually - more than breast cancer, AIDS, and traffic fatalities combined.



Adient - Conventional Metal IVC Filter Technology

Although conventional metal IVC filters can reduce the incidence of PE to 1-2%, many are fraught with mounting complications as they remain in the body for prolonged duration. Most IVC filters are placed with the intention to be retrieved within weeks as recommended by the FDA. However, only a small percentage of patients (4-7% in statewide studies) return for the subsequent retrieval procedure. Complications that increase with indwell duration include device fracture and embolization, IVC thrombosis, IVC perforation and impaling of neighboring organs (aorta, kidney, stomach, spine, etc.).
