Read full description

IR Planner is a reference tool for interventional radiologists, neurointerventionalists, and vascular specialists: device compatibility checking and EVAR stent-graft sizing, built on published manufacturer IFU data. DEVICE COMPATIBILITY - FREE - Search 400+ neurovascular and endovascular devices across 12 categories (sheaths, catheters, microcatheters, wires, coils, stents, stent retrievers, balloons, liquid embolics and more) from 35+ manufacturers. - Build coaxial stacks to any depth: nest devices and get an instant verdict at every junction (DOES NOT FIT, TIGHT, GOOD FIT, LOTS OF SPACE) with exact clearance in thousandths of an inch. - Combined-diameter checks for side-by-side devices sharing one lumen. - Safety advisories on top of the fit math: DMSO compatibility for liquid embolics, formally validated device pairings, and deployment-reliability warnings. EVAR SIZING - Select a graft platform (Medtronic Endurant, Gore EXCLUDER, Cook Zenith, Terumo Aortic) and enter nine anatomy measurements. - Get a recommended component list: main body and iliac limbs with graft diameters, lengths and required sheath size, plus IFU-criteria checks and clear flags when anatomy falls outside the IFU. - Built-in warning where measurement conventions differ between brands (inner vs outer wall). CREDITS AND PRO - The compatibility checker is free and unlimited. - Every new account includes 10 free EVAR sizing credits, no card required. Buy credit packs, or go Pro for unlimited sizing. IMPORTANT IR Planner is a reference tool for licensed medical professionals and is not a substitute for clinical judgment. Always verify device selection and sizing against the manufacturer's current Instructions for Use (IFU). No patient data is collected or stored.
