Angiodroid The CO2 Injector

Angiodroid is the first unique automatic injector for peripheral angiography with CO2.

The injector let the user have a complete management of the gas dose and pressure of
injection.

The system overcomes the issues related to air contamination, poor imaging and safety
for the patients thanks to a patented technology which standardizes the use of CO2 in
angiographic exams, reaching an excellent imaging technique in a shorter time.

The unit is portable, with a CO2 tank inside that ensures more than 500 procedures and
it’s ready to inject in 6 seconds. Users can choose the parameters and then the injection
can be started with touch screen, synchronizing the injector with the X-ray system, or
wireless, with a dedicated remote control.

More than 30 papers validated the use of the injector worldwide, and recent international
guidelines suggested the use of automated CO2 angiography to save the renal function of
patients.

WHY TO USE IT Search term

The use of CO2 as a Contrast Agent can bring considerable advantages such as:

– no allergic reaction or  no renal complications (avoid CIN risk);

– 20 times more soluble than O2 in the blood;

– 400 times less viscous than iodine (better endoleaks detection);

– fast and natural removal by normal breathing through lungs;

– cheap contrast
Angiodroid Srl has developed the first and unique automatic injector for CO2
management, that allows the physician to have complete control over the injection of the
gas during the procedure. The injector has already obtained several certifications for
commercialization in over 50 countries worldwide, and dozens of papers have been
published on its safety and efficacy since 2014.
