We’re called Q’Apel for the Qu’Appelle River, a waterway that winds through Saskatchewan, Canada. Why? Because this pristine river charts a winding path, full of twists, turns, and straightaways alike. That’s what we do, too. Our cutting-edge products—neurological catheters, specifically—are designed to navigate the twists and turns of the brain’s neurovasculature, empowering therapeutic thrombectomy and cerebral aneurysm devices to deliver life-changing outcomes.
Who We AreWelcome the future of advanced thrombectomy solutions—Hippo and Cheetah, an unparalleled symbiosis of aspiration excellence.
With my unique features for clot engagement and removal, seamlessly guided by Cheetah’s tailored design and flexible navigation, witness innovation at its peak. Embrace the future—where aspiration meets innovation.
Together, we jump straight in without wasting time on complex prep or navigation hangups. We are setting the standard in trackability for effortless navigation.
So what sets us apart? For starters, we are designed to work together. That’s what partners do. With minimal ledge effect, we glide along as a single system, easily tackling turns to get wherever you need us fast. Once there, my novel tip design engages the clot and you can confirm clot engagement under fluoroscopy.
We allow fast and easy navigation as a single system that delivers my optimized 0.072” inner diameter to a variety of anatomical locations with speed and precision.
My flex-zone offers unmatched flexibility precisely where you need it. Conquer the challenges of tortuous neurovasculature with a catheter that flexes, bends, and maintains a strong grip throughout the retrieval process. Choose Hippo—make the turn.
My (5) radiopaque tantalum petals act as your guide, offering real-time insight as the catheter approaches the face of the clot. Physicians can navigate with confidence, making informed decisions that lead to successful thrombectomy outcomes. Choose me for more information at every turn.
Ultimately, my physique comes down to the particulars. From my 132cm usable length to my 0.072-inch ID and my flexible tip, I am powerful and mighty. Have a closer look.
I am the tailored guide for Hippo that minimizes ledge effect and
maximizes speed.
I am always eager to show what I can do firsthand.
