Okami Medical offers the LOLO Vascular Occlusion System, a single‑device embolization solution that uses HD BRAID® high‑density mesh to achieve rapid, complete flow cessation in peripheral vessels 1.5–9 mm. Integrated with low‑friction SENDERO® delivery catheters, the system provides precise placement, MR‑conditional safety, and minimal imaging artifact, reducing procedure time and material use.

Problem
Peripheral embolization procedures rely on bulky coils or vascular plugs that often require multiple devices, exhibit inconsistent occlusion, and can migrate, leading to prolonged procedures and suboptimal hemostasis.
Solution
Okami Medical’s LOLO® Vascular Occlusion System uses proprietary HD BRAID® technology to create a high‑density, small‑pore occluder that achieves rapid, complete flow cessation with a single device. The occluder’s multi‑disc architecture delivers consistent, stable blockage across vessels ranging from 1.5 mm to 9 mm in diameter, typically reaching occlusion in about 90 seconds. Integrated with the SENDERO® delivery catheters, the system provides low‑friction, high‑trackability navigation through tortuous peripheral anatomy and precise placement control. The device is MR‑conditional, generates minimal CT artifact, and is compatible with standard catheter platforms, enabling clinicians to streamline embolization workflows and reduce procedural time and material costs.
Features
- HD BRAID® construction: ultra‑thin (≤20 µm) wires create a high‑density, small‑pore mesh for superior flow obstruction.
- Single‑device “one‑and‑done” occlusion: average 90 seconds to achieve complete hemostasis, eliminating the need for multiple coils or plugs.
- Multi‑size disc portfolio (LOBO‑3, 5, 7, 9) covering 1.5 mm–9 mm vessel diameters with four discrete sizes.
- SENDERO® microcatheter and SENDERO® MAX delivery systems: PTFE‑lined, low‑friction catheters with distal flexibility for navigation of tortuous peripheral vessels and reliable device retraction.
- MR‑conditional (1.5 T/3 T) and low CT artifact (≈5 mm), preserving imaging quality for post‑procedure assessment.
- Compatibility with existing catheter platforms and standard guidewire sizes (≤0.028 in).
- Robust mechanical detachment handpiece ensures controlled release and precise positioning of the occluder.
