CLINICAL EVIDENCE

The evidence behind ClotHound

Five published bench and animal studies of the ClotHound system and Retriever Medical's blood filtration technology. Each page sums up one study and includes the full paper.

Key Studies

ClotHound Testing

Radial Force Testing

DogLeg 24F Testing

In live porcine, the ClotHound spheres were expanded 20–40% beyond vessel diameter and moved back and forth without significant damage to the vessel lining. J Biol Today's World 11(5) · Oct 9, 2022

DogLeg 24F Testing

Radial Force Testing

DogLeg 24F Testing

The 24F aspiration/guide catheter (7.1 mm ID) tracked through serial 90–180° turns, with no lumen collapse at a 6 mm radius of curvature. Cardiol Cardiovasc Med 8(2) · Apr 19, 2024

Radial Force Testing

Radial Force Testing

Radial Force Testing

Maximum radial force from the wire sphere was 22 N, the same force used by high-pressure angioplasty balloons. Cardiol Cardiovasc Med 8(1) · Jan 31, 2024

Gravity Filtration

Gravity Filtration

Radial Force Testing

A gravity-fed three-filter system removed 100% of test particles from a blood analogue, at more than 500 cc per minute. Cardiol Cardiovasc Med 8(1) · Jan 31, 2024

Blood Filtration

Gravity Filtration

Blood Filtration

Filtered bovine thrombus left no residual clot, and filtered porcine and human blood showed no sign of red blood cell injury or change in clotting profile. J Biol Today's World 12(6) · Dec 27, 2023
