Apollo
™
Onyx
™
Delivery Micro Catheter with Detachable Tip
Welcome to the New Frontier in Onyx Embolization.
With its detachable tip, the Apollo Micro Catheter is specically
designed to mitigate the technical challenge of catheter entrapment
during Onyx embolizations. Its versatile reux management abilities let
you navigate further into distal tortuosity, inject higher Onyx volumes
over longer time periods, safeguard the neurovasculature during
retrieval, and complete more embolizations from
a single access point.
Syringe Adapter
The Syringe Adapter included with the
Apollo Micro Catheter prevents dilution of
Onyx in the hub, improves visualization,
and increases accuracy by reducing
dead space.
End-to-End Reinforcement
Superior Distal Performance —
Nitinol braiding throughout the distal
segment enables high burst pressures
to support Onyx injection, while
simultaneously maintaining smooth
tracking and superior navigability.
Proximal Pushability
Strong, predictable force is
delivered by stainless steel coil
reinforcement in the proximal shaft.
Marker Bands
Radiopaque marker bands provide accurate
fluoroscopic visualization of the length of
Onyx reflux at the catheter tip.
• Separate bands indicate the distal end
of the detachable tip and the retrievable
portion of the micro catheter.
Floppy Distal Segment
A smooth distal transition is facilitated
by variable durometer polymers.
Marathon
™
Platform
Apollo is built on the same proven
platform as our Marathon Flow
Directed Micro Catheter.
Transition Zone (At 140 cm)
Excellent torque transfer and pushability is provided
through Apollo’s transition zone, where proximal stainless
steel coil meets distal Nitinol braiding. A strong Pebax
liner enables torque and pushability to be efficiently
transferred at the joint.
Point of Detachment (POD)
Engineered with proprietary technologies to
release the tip with a consistent, predictable
amount of force.
Detachable Tip
Greatly reduces the critical challenge of catheter
entrapment during Onyx embolization. The Apollo
™
Micro
Catheter’s tip can be reliably detached and left securely in
place. Reflux can be permitted and monitored, allowing for
maximum injection time and deeper Onyx
™
penetration.
Choose from three tip lengths — 1.5 cm, 3.0 cm and
5.0 cm — to ensure that the POD is proximal to the last
tortuous segment of the accessed pedicle.
Choose where to start. Perform complete embolizations. Finish with confidence.

The Apollo
™
+ Onyx
™
LES solution. Made for each other.
From its advanced detachable tip, to strategically-placed marker bands, to a
Marathon
™
-inspired platform, everything about Apollo is expressly designed to
complement and enhance embolization with Onyx 18 and 34. Together, these
synergistic tools help you journey to more tortuous locations, embolize more challenging
lesions, and return with confidence.
