We are glad to inform you about the receipt of the registration certificate for the Menox liquid embolization System from Meril Life Science
Menox is a liquid embolic system designed for preoperative embolization of arteriovenous malformations of the brain (AVM).
Liquid Menox consists of:
- A mixture of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
- Micronized tantalum powder suspended in a mixture of liquid polymer and DMSO
Advantages:
- Unlike glue, Menox forms a cohesive, not an adhesive embolus
- Suspended micronized tantalum powder provides fluoroscopic imaging
- DMSO diffuses rapidly upon contact with blood, causing the deposition of a soft radiopaque embolus in place
