Happy Birthday to Merci - A Corkscrew that Removes Blood Clots!

Happy Birthday Merci! Two years after its invention the Merci Retrieval System… is still getting reports from Dr. Ron Benitez… at Atlantic Neurosurgical Specialists and others ... who express amazement at the accurate results medical people are getting from the Merci Retrieval System. More and more stroke-victims are being saved because this relatively new approach is quick… accurate ... and readily available.  Merci retrieval system.jpg

The system was developed by
Concentric Medical of Mountain View in California and then approved by the Food and Drug Administration in mid-August 2004. In this procedure … the doctor moves a device that resembles a corkscrew … along a large catheter… to the brain … and sucks blood clots out of the body.

Researchers points out the importance of knowing three early signs of stroke, since the problem often strikes at work and requires fast action:

1. Numbness, tingling or loss of strength … on one side of the body
2. Difficulty speaking
3. Blurred vision or sudden unexplained dizziness

Do you feel prepared to help yourself or another person who suffered a stroke?
