FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Q'Apel Medical Inc. launches a new generation aspiration technology - the 072 Hippo Aspiration System, developed for patients suffering from a stroke due to a large vessel occlusion.

加利福尼亚州弗里蒙特，2023年12月12日/PRNewswire/-Q'Apel Medical Inc.推出了新一代抽吸技术-072 Hippo抽吸系统，该系统是为因大血管闭塞而中风的患者开发的。

The recent FDA cleared stroke system, comprised of the 072 Hippo Aspiration Catheter and its Cheetah companion, represents a paradigm shift in emergent neurovascular intervention. The proprietary adaptive tip of the Hippo catheter redefines precision in clot engagement and removal, ensuring tailored performance for varying clot morphologies and sizes.

最近FDA批准的中风系统由072 Hippo抽吸导管及其猎豹伴侣组成，代表了紧急神经血管干预的范式转变。Hippo导管专有的自适应尖端重新定义了凝块接合和去除的精度，确保了针对不同凝块形态和大小的定制性能。

This unique feature offers physicians real-time visibility and control during the critical phases of the procedure, providing insights previously unavailable. Visibility is crucial for the physician in confirming engagement with the culprit blockage, improving the odds for high first-pass success, and fewer passes, leading to better functional outcomes for stroke victims..

这一独特的功能为医生在手术的关键阶段提供了实时的可见性和控制，提供了以前无法获得的见解。可见性对于医生确认与罪魁祸首阻塞的接触至关重要，可以提高首次通过成功率，减少通过次数，从而为中风患者带来更好的功能结果。。

The adaptive tip of the Hippo catheter is complemented by the Cheetah, a flexible guiding companion designed to accelerate delivery of Hippo to the face of the clot. Together, Hippo and Cheetah create a synergistic system ensuring unparalleled speed, precision, and integration in thrombectomy procedures and is the ideal complement to Q'Apel's market-leading Walrus Balloon Guide Catheter. .

河马导管的自适应尖端由猎豹补充，猎豹是一种灵活的引导伴侣，旨在加速河马向凝块表面的输送。Hippo和Cheetah共同创造了一个协同系统，确保了血栓切除术中无与伦比的速度，精确度和集成度，是Q'Apel市场领先的海象球囊导管的理想补充。。

'Our initial experience with the Hippo Aspiration System really demonstrated outstanding system performance. In my opinion, the impact of a highly visible and adaptive catheter tip is superior to other aspiration systems.  I can determine when my catheter is engaged with the clot, as I could see the tip conforming to the thrombus.

“我们最初使用Hippo吸气系统的经验确实证明了出色的系统性能。在我看来，高度可见和自适应导管尖端的影响优于其他抽吸系统。我可以确定我的导管何时与凝块结合，因为我可以看到尖端符合血栓。

Once the thrombus was removed, the petals returned to their original state, so I knew I had success', said Raymond Turner, MD, Endovascular Neurosurgeon at PRISMA Health, Greenville, SC. 'This adaptive and visible tip aids physicians in making informed decisions in real time, that leads to a successful thrombectomy outcomes for patients'..

一旦血栓被移除，花瓣就会恢复到原始状态，因此我知道我取得了成功”，南卡罗来纳州格林维尔PRISMA Health的血管内神经外科医生Raymond Turner医学博士说。“这种适应性和可见的提示有助于医生实时做出明智的决定，从而为患者带来成功的血栓切除术结果”。。

'When every minute during a stroke kills 2 million neurons, speed is essential. The Hippo Cheetah combination allows for expediency with a high rate of first pass recanalization rates', commented Elad Levy, MD, MBA, Professor and Chairman of Neurosurgery, Professor of Radiology, Department of Neurosurgery, Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Buffalo, NY..

“当中风期间每分钟杀死200万个神经元时，速度至关重要。Hippo-Cheetah组合可以方便地获得较高的首过再通率”，纽约州布法罗市雅各布斯医学与生物医学科学学院神经外科教授兼主席、神经外科教授、放射学教授Elad Levy评论道。。

'Hippo's ability to adapt to various clot morphologies is impressive. Regardless of angulation I can confirm engagement of the catheter on the clot, as I can now visualize this – which has never been possible before in an aspiration catheter. Paired with the Cheetah delivery tool, this was a fast and easy system to use, and has the potential to be practice-changing and cost-saving', said Omar Tanweer, MD Director of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX..

“河马适应各种血块形态的能力令人印象深刻。无论角度如何，我都可以确认导管在凝块上的接合，因为我现在可以看到这一点-这在抽吸导管中以前是不可能的。德克萨斯州休斯顿贝勒医学院脑血管和血管内神经外科医学博士奥马尔·坦维尔（OmarTanweer）说：“与猎豹分娩工具配套使用，这是一个快速简便的系统，有可能改变实践并节省成本。”。。

'The anticipation of Hippo & Cheetah for Q'Apel has been enormous, and we are thrilled with the performance we have seen in clinic in our initial sites,' said King Nelson, Q'Apel Medical's CEO. 'It's in Q'Apel's DNA to bring to market highly differentiated products that truly provide a meaningful advantage and benefit to physicians and their patients.

Q'Apel Medical首席执行官金·尼尔森（KingNelson）说：“河马和猎豹对Q'Apel的期待是巨大的，我们对我们最初在诊所看到的表现感到兴奋。”Q'Apel的DNA决定了将高度分化的产品推向市场，真正为医生和患者提供有意义的优势和益处。

The Hippo Aspiration System also grants us the ability to offer physicians a complete stroke procedure. Hippo was designed to work with our market leading Balloon Guide Catheter, Walrus, and now we can marry the benefits of Walrus and the overwhelming evidence Balloon Guide Catheters offer with the game-changing technology of Hippo'..

Hippo抽吸系统还使我们能够为医生提供完整的中风程序。Hippo被设计用于与我们市场领先的气球引导导管Walrus合作，现在我们可以将Walrus的优点和气球引导导管提供的压倒性证据与Hippo的改变游戏规则的技术结合起来。。

About Q'Apel MedicalQ'Apel Medical designs highly innovative technologies for neurovascular interventions and unmet clinical needs. Q'Apel's portfolio comprises the Walrus Balloon Catheter System, the Armadillo 7F and 6F Access System, and now the Hippo Aspiration System with its companion, Cheetah.

关于Q'Apel Medical Q'Apel Medical设计了用于神经血管干预和未满足临床需求的高度创新技术。Q'Apel的产品组合包括海象气球导管系统，犰狳7F和6F接入系统，现在还有河马抽吸系统及其伴侣猎豹。

By blending flow control, trackability, support, and access into one revolutionary solution, Walrus offers truly unmatched functionality. The 7F and 6F Armadillo Access Systems are dual-mode catheters and part of the SelectFlex™ Family of Neurovascular Catheters.

在海象出现之前，基于气球的可变刚度导管带来了各种技术限制。不再是了。通过将流量控制、可跟踪性、支持和访问混合到一个革命性的解决方案中，Walrus提供了真正无与伦比的功能。7F和6F犰狳接入系统是双模导管，也是SelectFlex的一部分™神经血管导管家族。

These devices feature two distinct operational modes, allowing physicians to easily switch modes at any point during a clinical case and reducing the need for multiple catheters in challenging procedures. The new addition of the Hippo Aspiration System provides visible feedback via its adaptive radiopaque tip for physicians and provides information for the physician that is vital during the procedure.

这些设备具有两种不同的操作模式，允许医生在临床病例中的任何时候轻松切换模式，并减少了在具有挑战性的手术中对多个导管的需求。Hippo抽吸系统的新增加通过其自适应不透射线尖端为医生提供可见的反馈，并为医生提供在手术过程中至关重要的信息。

Also, the 072 Hippo Aspiration System is compatible with the Walrus Balloon Guide catheter for a complete stroke solution..

此外，072 Hippo抽吸系统与海象球囊导管兼容，可用于完整的中风解决方案。。
