About

EmboVol

Features
Read full description

EmboVol is a lightweight calculator for estimating coil packing densityβ€”also called the Volume Embolization Ratio (VER)β€”during intracranial aneurysm coiling. Use it in three simple steps: Aneurysm: Enter aneurysm size (3 dimensions) or volume. Plan: Choose a coil system and target packing %, then get an estimated total coil length/volume from a simplified model. Procedure: Log each opened coil package and mark whether its coil was deployed. Running opened/deployed totals and grouped counts stay visible while EmboVol estimates achieved packing density, deployed coil volume, and residual volume. Key features β€’ Aneurysm volume from 3 dimensions (ellipsoid approximation) or direct volume input β€’ Coil volume from outer diameter (OD) and deployed length (cylindrical approximation) β€’ Target packing slider with instant required-volume/length estimates β€’ One-tap package logging with quick Repeat and Undo β€’ Separate opened-package and deployed-coil counts β€’ Editable coil catalog with visible source and provenance information β€’ Save, restore, and QR transfer without patient identifiers β€’ On-device only: no accounts, no tracking, no patient data collection Important EmboVol provides simplified estimates and is not validated clinical decision support. Always cross-check calculations, units, and device specifications against current IFU/product documentation and local protocols.
