What is it indicated for?
The MicroPlexTMCoil System (MCS) and HydroCoiZO Embolic System (HES) are intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae.
The MCS and HES are also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
