Option™ ELITE
The Option™ ELITE retrievable vena cava filter protects against recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). It can be retrieved or remain implanted depending on whether the patient needs short-term or long-term PE protection. With over ten years of positive, consistent and proven clinical performance, the Option™ ELITE filter has a unique anchoring system that makes retrievals easier. The Option™ ELITE is cleared for delivery using a standard or over-the-wire technique via jugular, femoral, antecubital, or popliteal access.

Over-The-Wire Delivery
By delivering the Option™ ELITE over-the-wire, the filter is given a path to follow for a predictable and accurate placement. The additional control provided by the guidewire:
- Stabilizes the filter’s apex during deployment
- Places the apex in the center of the IVC
- Positions the filter for easier retrieval
Delivery System Attributes
- A low-profile 5F ID delivery system to reduce trauma at the access site
- A curved pusher to aid centering and resist tilt during deployment
- A universal cartridge for femoral/popliteal or jugular/antecubital delivery
- Available with a 70cm delivery sheath for delivery via jugular and femoral access or 100cm delivery sheath for delivery via antecubital and popliteal access
Indications

- Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated
- Failure of anticoagulation therapy in thromboembolic diseases
