Clinical & Benchtop Evidence
Improved catheter delivery for aspiration thrombectomy using Tenzing 7 ledge reducing catheter and FreeClimb 70
By F. Settecase et al.
Multicenter experience with the FreeClimb 70 reperfusion system with Tenzing 7 delivery catheter showed 61% FPE (First Pass Effect) for M1 occlusions and no guidewire used in 70% of cases.
Novel Tenzing 7 Delivery Catheter for Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke: A Clinical Multicenter Experience

Multicenter experience with the FreeClimb 70 reperfusion system with Tenzing 7 delivery catheter showing 61% FPE for M1 occlusions and no guidewire used in 70% of cases.
The novel Tenzing 7 delivery catheter designed to deliver intermediate catheters to the face of embolus without crossing: clinical performance predicted in anatomically challenging model
By A. Frolich et al.
Compared with microcatheter and microwire combinations, Tenzing 7 improves aspiration catheter delivery in vitro, minimizing the need to cross the occlusion.
Case Examples
Dr. Fabio Settecase uses the FreeClimb 70 reperfusion system with a Walrus balloon guide to reach a distal M1 occlusion in a patient with severe carotid stenosis and challenging anatomy.
Dr. Joey English uses the FreeClimb 54 reperfusion system powered by Tenzing to reach a M2 occlusion and achieve first pass TICI in just 9 minutes.
Dr. Joey English shares a successful M2 occlusion case where first pass results were achieved in just 8 minutes.
Dr. Vamshi Balasetti and his Neuro team share a great first pass TICI 3 outcome using the FreeClimb 70 reperfusion system with the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter where no microwire or microcatheter was necessary.
Dr. James Caldwell uses the FreeClimb 70 reperfusion system with the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter to reach an M1 occlusion through severe tortuosity.
