Penumbra recently announced a significant update to our flagship large-bore reperfusion catheter, RED 72. Developed for speed and ease of navigation, the new RED® 72 SILVER LABEL features meticulously blended transition zones to better accommodate the natural distal anatomy of the brain. Adapted from our popular RED® 43 and RED® 62 catheters, the RED 72 SILVER LABEL features Penumbra’s latest engineering enhancements.

The new RED 72 SILVER LABEL with SENDit® Technology has shown a remarkable 50% increase in trackability over the original RED 72 with SENDit Technology.1

“I had the opportunity to try the new RED 72 SILVER LABEL during a recent procedure,” says Daniel Vela Duarte, M.D., a neurointerventionalist with the Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. “The change and overall performance are radically better.”

RED 72 SILVER LABEL will also include a SENDit Technology configuration, which is designed to minimize the ledge effect, simplify preparation, and ease delivery in LVO. SENDit features a smooth 1.5 cm taper for ease of navigation and close clot proximity.

The design of RED 72 reflects Penumbra’s commitment to the principles of Science-Based Aspiration Thrombectomy (S-BAT). RED 72 was designed to occupy approximately 72% to 77% of the average M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery,2 which is within the optimal catheter-to-vessel ID ratio to create a pressure differential necessary for an effective thrombectomy procedure.3,4,5 This innovative technology complements the RED 43 and RED 62 catheters, which are designed to support more distal vessels.

“RED 72 Silver Label tracked with ease to an M1 occlusion in a patient in their 90s with extreme cervical carotid tortuosity and underlying atherosclerotic disease,” said Ian Kaminsky, M.D., an interventional neuroradiologist based in Englewood, Colorado after completing the first case with the catheter. “We are really looking forward to implementing this incredible technology into our practice.”

RED 72 SILVER LABEL has a .072″ (1.83 mm) Lumen and a .085″ (2.16 mm) outer diameter. It comes in 132 cm to reach target vessels.
