FDA Clears Teleflex Peripheral Snare Devices

The FDA cleared Teleflex’s new versions of its Expire Elite and Sympro Elite snares.

The snares use loop diameters in peripheral procedures of a cardiovascular system or hollow viscus to retrieve or reposition intravascular foreign objects, such as balloons, coils or catheters.

Both products come preassembled in a “one-piece design that allows rapid deployment through any 0.035” compatible lumen,” the company said.
