Surmodics Announces First Patient Enrolled in PROWL Registry Study Using the Pounce™ Thrombectomy System
Surmodics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRDX) announces the enrollment of the first patient in the PROWL registry for the Pounce™ Thrombectomy System. This open-label, multi-center registry aims to collect real-world outcomes data for non-surgical emboli removal in up to 500 patients at 30 sites across the U.S. The primary endpoints include procedural success and device-related major adverse events over 30 days. National Co-Principal Investigators are Dr. Sean Lyden (Cleveland Clinic) and Dr. Joseph Campbell (OhioHealth). The PROWL study addresses the urgent medical need for effective treatment of acute limb ischemia, which poses significant risks of amputation and mortality. The Pounce system efficiently removes clots, potentially reducing the need for expensive adjunctive treatments in hospital settings.
- Enrollment of the first patient in the PROWL registry may enhance the credibility of the Pounce Thrombectomy System.
- The Pounce system aims to demonstrate reduced need for thrombolytic drugs and shorter ICU stays, improving cost efficiency in care.
- The success of the PROWL registry outcomes is uncertain and depends on patient and facility participation.
Registry to enroll up to 500 patients at up to 30 sites, collecting real-world outcomes data for the Pounce™ Thrombectomy System
PROWL is an open-label, retrospective, multi-center,
“We are delighted to be the first site to enroll a patient in the PROWL registry,” said Dr.
“We’ve long needed better tools to help us resolve acute limb ischemia in a simple and effective manner, without the use of multiple adjunctive treatments,” he added. “In this respect, our experience with the Pounce system has been quite positive.”
PROWL’s primary efficacy endpoint is procedural success, while the primary safety endpoint is the incidence of device-related major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days.
“Acute limb ischemia from arteries blocked by thrombus or embolus is an urgent threat to both limb and life,” said
About the Pounce Thrombectomy System
The Pounce Thrombectomy System is composed of three components: a 5 Fr delivery catheter, a basket wire, and a funnel catheter. The basket wire is delivered distal to the location of the thrombus, deploying two nitinol self-expanding baskets. The baskets capture the clot and are retracted into the nitinol collection funnel. With the clot entrained, the system is withdrawn into a minimum 7 Fr guide sheath through which the clot is removed from the body.
About Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI)
ALI is characterized by a sudden decrease in arterial perfusion to the limb, with a potential threat to limb survival, requiring urgent evaluation and management. Common causes include embolization due to cardiac dysrhythmia or thrombus from pre-existing peripheral artery disease.1 ALI is associated with 30-day amputation and mortality rates as high as
