Surfacer Inside-Out

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.
