Prytime Medical Announces First In European Use Of New Extended Safe Occlusion Time Catheter

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) The pREBOA-PROTM catheter is the world's first and only device specifically designed for prolonged aortic occlusion, a key advancement in resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). The device provides controlled resuscitation for patients with life-threatening hemorrhages, breaking the traditional 30-minute barrier associated with original REBOA1 and offering extended safe occlusion times up to 2 hours2,3. This breakthrough expands treatment options and may help reduce the complications typically associated with complete aortic occlusion.

Dr. Tal Hörer , Associate Professor of Surgery and Senior Vascular Surgeon at Örebro University Hospital in Sweden, performed the first European civilian use of the pREBOA-PROTM catheter for a patient with emergent post-partum bleeding. Based on his experience, he said: "The pREBOA-PROTM catheter represents a significant advancement in REBOA technology. Its ability to achieve partial occlusion gives us more flexibility in managing critically injured patients, potentially improving outcomes and reducing the risk of ischemic complications. This device is a valuable addition to our trauma care arsenal and allowed us to provide hemodynamic support for this critical patient."

David Spencer , CEO of Prytime Medical, commented: "Receiving CE Mark approval for the pREBOA-PROTM catheter is a crucial step in our mission to expand access to life-saving REBOA technology globally. This innovative device will provide European physicians with a powerful tool to manage non-compressible torso hemorrhage more effectively, ultimately saving more lives."

With over 700 documented patient uses in the United States, the pREBOA-PROTM catheter gives physicians prolonged time to evaluate, stabilize, and treat patients at risk of hemorrhagic shock, without increasing AKI4,5,6,7,8.

Prytime Medical will begin a phased rollout of the pREBOA-PROTM catheter across select European markets in 2025.
