The Angel™ Catheter provides an elegantly simple solution to the complex problem of preventing Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in critically ill patients. Developed by Dr. Luis F. Angel, the Angel™ Catheter combines a Central Venous Catheter with a truly temporary, retrievable Vena Cava Filter. The union of these two common medical devices eliminates the drawbacks associated with existing Vena Cava Filter designs, including: vena cava perforation caused by hooks, filter tilting, filter migration, and irretrievability.
