RED Reperfusion Catheters

Penumbra’s RED^® Reperfusion Catheters (RED 72, RED 72 with SENDit^™ Technology, RED 68, RED 62, and RED 43) are intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Every case is different, and the RED family of catheters provides a full range of products designed to optimize lumen size and trackability for the situation. All five products feature new REDglide^™ technology which is designed to improve catheter interaction with vessels and to enhance delivery in tortuosity.

RED 72 is our large-bore reperfusion catheter which provides the highest TRF on the market^a while optimized for navigating challenging anatomy.

• .072″ (1.83 mm) Lumen: Delivers highest TRF^a
• .085″ (2.16 mm) Outer Diameter: Articulating marker band designed to improve tip softness
• REDglide Coating: Designed to enhance delivery in tortuosity
• 132 cm Length: To reach target vessel
• 20 Material Transitions: Optimized for performance in challenging anatomy
