Alameda, California-based Penumbra also initiated the launch for the system. The company called Lightning Flash “the most advanced and powerful mechanical thrombectomy system on the market.”
Lightning Flash features the company’s novel Lightning intelligent aspiration technology with dual-clot detection algorithms. Combining it with innovative catheter engineering, Penumbra designed Lightning Flash to quickly remove large blood clots. This includes venous thrombus and pulmonary emboli (PE).
