Inari Medical, now part of Stryker, a global leader in medical technologies, has announced the launch of its next-generation InThrill Thrombectomy System, the first and only purpose-built small vessel and arteriovenous (AV) access thrombectomy system that can deliver fast, full luminal clot removal.
The second generation InThrill Thrombectomy System is an 8 French over-the-wire system comprising the InThrill thrombectomy catheter and the InThrill sheath. InThrill is built upon a familiar platform, optimized to become the standard for AV access and small vessel thrombectomy. Offering unmatched efficiency and clot removal, InThrill has distinctive features which include:
- Increased radial force for improved luminal wall apposition for optimized clot removal
- Offset single open mouth to optimize clot capture and removal
- Internal struts for even clot distribution within the element
- Redesigned backend to streamline ergonomics and improve the user experience.
On May 19, 2025, Dr. Joshua Pinter and Dr. Anish Ghodadra of the UPMC health care system performed the first commercial case using the new InThrill Thrombectomy System. “The next generation of InThrill has made our thrombectomies more effective and consistent than ever,” said Dr. Pinter. “Inari’s dedication to building a small vessel tool has changed our paradigm of treatment for AV access thrombectomy,” added Dr. Ghodadra.
“The launch of the next-generation InThrill Thrombectomy System reflects our deep commitment to solving real-world challenges in vascular care,” said Tim Lanier, president, Inari Division. “This latest innovation delivers new tools and enriches our work with physicians in the vascular space.”
