Features & Benefits
EmboGold Microspheres are colored to enhance visualization during handling, while still offering the controlled, targeted embolization characteristics of Merit Medical’s first microsphere product, Embosphere® Microspheres. EmboGold Microspheres are biocompatible, hydrophilic, non-resorbable, precisely calibrated microspheres.
Predictable, Reliable Delivery
EmboGold Microspheres temporarily compress for smooth microcatheter passage. Once through the microcatheter, they return to their original spherical shape and stated diameter for predictable, reliable delivery.1
Non-Aggregating Properties
The hydrophilic surface and spherical shape of EmboGold Microspheres prevent aggregation in the catheter lumen and vasculature, promoting ease of use.1
Durable Occlusion
EmboGold Microspheres are biocompatible and nonresorbable with cell adhesion properties that enable complete and durable mechanical occlusion.1
Enhanced Visibility
EmboGold Microspheres are colored to offer better visibility during handling.
Specific Size Ranges
EmboGold Microspheres are available in six specific size ranges.
