What is an embosil?

Answer 1

An embosil is a type of medical device used in interventional radiology, specifically for embolization procedures. It is designed to block or occlude blood vessels to manage conditions like tumors, arteriovenous malformations, or to control bleeding. Embosils can be made from various materials, including particles, balloons, or coils, and are inserted through a catheter into the target blood vessel. The goal is to restrict blood flow to a specific area to achieve therapeutic results.
