The Micro ACE system is the latest innovation in the Merit Vascular portfolio. The comprehensive portfolio includes a full range of percutaneous access and closure devices. Combining a balance of stiffness and resiliency, Micro ACE is designed to achieve micro-access in a wide range of vascular anatomies.
Interventional procedures utilizing micro-access are commonly performed to diagnose and open narrowed (i.e., atherosclerotic) blood vessels. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition that develops when there is a buildup of plaque inside the arteries. Diseases linked to atherosclerosis, such as coronary and peripheral artery disease, are the leading cause of death in
To facilitate such interventional procedures, the Micro ACE balances stiffness and flexibility to offer twice the resistance to kink and compression over the leading competitor. 2 It is also 9% stiffer than the leading standard micro-introducer. 2 In addition, a unique marker tip design allows for nine times greater visibility under fluoroscopy for accurate positioning needed at the start of a procedure.2 Merit is pursuing patents on Micro ACE technology in
