ALN (ALN Implants Chirurgicaux, France) announced the launching in the USA of its new ALN Vena Cava Filter with Hook, which recently received the CE mark and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

The ALN Vena Cava Filter with Hook is intended for jugular, brachial and femoral approaches and has the same features as the Optional ALN Vena Cava Filter. Placement of the new ALN Vena Cava Filter with Hook will be as easy as with the current device, according to the company.

The ALN company offers a choice for the retrieval of this new filter with hook; it can be removed either by using a snare or one of the ALN retrieval kits (jugular approach only).
