GPX Delivery to Portal Vein
GPX delivery to a portal vein demonstrates the distally flowing nature of the embolic.
Mechanism of Action
-
The GPX Embolic Device contains a water-based ionic polymer solution in a delivery syringe
-
Counterions in the solution prevent polymer interactions in the syringe
-
When delivered to the bloodstream, the counterions immediately dissipate, allowing solidification of the polymer solution via ionic bonding
