MENOX
Menox is a liquid embolic system proposed to be intended for pre-surgical Embolization of brain Arterio-Venous Malformations (bAVM).
The liquid Menox comprises of:
• A mixture of Ethylene Vinyl alcohol co-polymer (EVOH) dissolved in DiMethyl SulfOxide (DMSO)
• Micronized tantalum powder suspended in the liquid polymer/DMSO mixture
- STORAGE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
- PRE-HEATING NOT REQUIRED
- FORMS COHESIVE EMBOLUS, NOT AN ADHESIVE EMBOLUS
Benefits
Unlike glue, Menox forms a Cohesive embolus and not an adhesive embolus
The suspended micronized tantalum powder provides fluroscopic visualization
The DMSO upon contact with blood, rapidly diffuses away causing in-situ precipitation of soft radiopaque embolus
Available in various viscosity of 18, 20, 34 centistokes
