Cook Celect vena cava filter
The Celect optional vena cava filter is the newest advance from the maker of the Gnther Tulip(r), the world's first optional filter. Studies show 2, 3 Celect has enhanced retrievability, so you have more time than ever to retrieve it or leave it. Either way you can be confident with technology from Cook, the worldwide leader in filters.
ADVANCED
Since bringing you Tulip, the first optional filter, Cook has maintained the gold standard in PE prevention. We continue this tradition with the Celect filter, combining cutting-edge design with the legacy of the top-selling Tulip platform. Celect is built on Tulip's trusted profile creating the ultimate optional filter.Single-cone design proven to be hemodynamically effective.Conichrome construction for fracture resistance in a dynamic vena cava.Self-centering offers efficient clot-trapping and easier retrieval.MRI compatibility enables immediate patient scanning.
SAFE
Celect is capable of retrieval, but is also designed to stay in place. And it is designed to minimize the most common filter complications. With over 100,000 Cook filters placed, Celect utilizes the same features you expect from the leader in optional filters.
Specially designed anchors create secure, atraumatic caval attachment.
Conichrome frame reduces risk of fracture.
Conical design provides better clot centering, reducing risk of thrombosis.
RETRIEVABLE
With redesigned legs and a simple three-step retrieval process, Celect is remarkably easy to retrieve. Simply snare the hook, advance the sheath to collapse the filter, and remove.
Study results show that Celect has a high probability of successful retrieval.
Celect's strut design centers the filter, making the hook easier to snare.
Redesigned legs reduce endothelial growth to desired attachment points.
PROCEDURAL INDICATIONS
Used for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via placement in the vena cava in the following situations:
pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulation therapy is contraindicated;
failure of anticoagulation therapy in thromboembolic diseases;
emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism when anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced; and
chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism when anticoagulation therapy has failed or is contraindicated.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Can be used in vena cava from 15mm to 30 mm diameter
Conical design with 12 filter wires for efficient clot trapping
Secondary strut design centers the filter with minimal in-growth
Conichrome construction for fracture resistance
Specially designed anchors for secure, atraumatic caval fixation
MRI safe to 3.0T allowing patient scanning immediately after placement
8.5 Fr femoral or 7.0 Fr jugular delivery system
Controlled delivery system for accurate filter placement
A legacy of leadership
With over 100,000 filters successfully placed, Cook has maintained the gold standard in PE prevention. This pioneering spirit has enabled us to bring you quality products and expert advice, all based on the data you can trust. The Celect filter is built on Tulip's trusted profile and state-of-the-art advances to create the premium optional filter.
Supplied sterile in peel-open packages. Intended for one-time use.

We have used other retrievable filters at our community hospital. Initially I preferred the optease because femoral retrieval is so appealing but it seems to get incorporated into the wall more firmly. We were able to retrieve 10 in 12 attempts.
The previous Tulip seems easier to remove to me than the Celect. I dont have the stats.

Thanks for your comments! thats interesting, although as you say only two cases. Have you tried any other retrievable filters for comparison such as the optease ?

in 2 attempts, I have found this filter more diffuicult to retrieve than the older version. The added struts have not reduced tilt. The added tines are easy to snare unintentionally, and seem to interfere with snaring the hook.
Not much of a series, I know, but that's my 2 cents.

Put in 8 of these and retrieved 6/6 successfully. Wonder what the longest time anyone has left one of these and successfully removed it is ?
