What is it indicated for?
The Optima Coil System is intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular
abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Optima Coil System is 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.
