Neurostar Thrombectomy System. (a) Saline stream inside the tip of the Neurostar catheter to macerate the thrombus during aspiration (hydro-separator technology). (b) Neurostar Thrombectomy System. Aspiration is initiated by the footswitch, and negative pressure signal activates the Saline Drive Unit, creating a stream of saline on the tip of the catheter through a saline delivery tubing within the main lumen.
