Contour PVA Embolisation Particles
Contour PVA Embolisation particles are small and irregular flakes of polyvinyl alcohol, which are used for permanent occlusion of a blood vessel. The Contour PVA Embolisation Particles have been proven safe and effective in many clinical scenarios for decades. Due to the irregular shape of PVA flakes, Contour PVA Embolisation Particles are designed to occlude vessels with less material than uniform microspheres.
