LOBO Technology
The LOBO occluder is the first and only peripheral embolization device featuring proprietary HDBRAID® technology – an innovative, unique braiding method developed specifically for making devices to occlude vessels. With this method, braided devices can be made with wires less than 20 microns in diameter – about ¼ the thickness of a human hair.
Peripheral occlusion procedures have traditionally relied upon embolization coils or vascular plugs. Embolization coils rely on the formation of a coil “pack” – an irregular structure with relatively large voids – to disrupt flow. Most vascular occluders rely on either a braided structure – one with relatively large wires and pores – or a polymer cover to disrupt flow. These approaches can lead to inconsistent occlusion or migration.
LOBO addresses these challenges by integrating HDBRAID technology and a patented design. The result is a device with a best-in-class pore structure that delivers rapid and consistent occlusion of a wide range of arteries.
LOBO Technology
- High density, small pore structure for optimal flow obstruction
- Significantly reduces flow to accelerate hemostasis and thrombosis
- Fast and complete occlusion with a single device
- Highly stable after placement
- No spinnaker effect
*For illustrative purposes only.
Versatile Design
- Multiple-disc design to compound the occlusive effects of the HDBRAID technology
- Excellent trackability to small, tortuous vessels
- Focal and efficient occlusion
- Expands accessible anatomical locations
- Conformance to curved vessels
- Thoroughly tested for compatibility with multiple catheters on the market today
- Enables treatment of vessel ranges from 1.5 mm to 9 mm with just 4 sizes
- Produces minimal CT artifact

Case Reviews
Physicians across the country are using LOBO in their embolization procedures from renal to bronchial, GI to PAVM and more.
See Instructions for Use for a complete list of warnings, precautions, and contraindications.
Indications for Use
The Okami Medical LOBO Vascular Occlusion System is intended for use to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in arteries of the peripheral vasculature. The device is not indicated for use in blood vessels where crush or bend forces are anticipated (e.g. joint areas, superficial vasculature).
The SENDERO Microcatheter is intended for the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The SENDERO MAX Delivery Catheter is intended for the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
Rx Only: Federal (USA) law restricts device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
MRI Safety Information
Non-clinical testing and MRI simulations were performed to evaluate the LOBO Vascular Occlusion Device. Non-clinical testing demonstrated that this product is MR Conditional. A patient with an implant can be scanned safely in an MR system under the following conditions:
Static magnetic field of 1.5-Tesla and 3-Tesla, only
Maximum spatial gradient magnetic field of 4,000-gauss/cm (40-T/m)
Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2-W/kg in the Normal Operating Mode
Under the scan conditions defined, an implant from the LOBO Vascular Occlusion Device is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of 2˚C after 15-minutes of continuous scanning.
In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the implant from the LOBO Vascular Occlusion Device extends approximately 5-mm from this device when imaged with a gradient echo pulse sequence and a 3-Tesla MR system.
