Restore Access. Preserve Options.
The Surfacer system enables recanalization of occluded central veins via an inside-out approach, restoring upper-body access options for dialysis patients. It addresses anatomy that would otherwise require lower-body catheters. While VenoStent focuses on supporting new fistulas externally, Surfacer rescues existing access pathways. It is cleared and used in specialized centers. Relevance is moderate for comprehensive alternative research covering both prevention and salvage strategies.
The Surfacer Inside-Out Access Catheter System restores and preserves access in chronically occluded veins using an inside-out approach developed by John Gurley, M.D. It achieves repeatable central venous access to the right internal jugular vein while preserving secondary veins and supporting permanent AV access. Clinical results showed 100% procedural success with no device-related adverse events.
