Simplified solid-particle embolization with a new introducer.
A new and simple introducer for solid embolic particles consists of teflon tubing sized to prevent particle overriding, coupled with a backflow-limiting end adaptor, and has sterilization caps. The size-coded introducers can be of a preselected diameter and easily introduce from 1 to 30 emboli at a time.
