Celebrating 15 Years of Terumo Neuro's WEB™ Device: A Game-Changer in Aneurysm Treatment

Celebrating 15 Years of the WEB™ Device



Terumo Neuro, a subsidiary of Terumo Corporation, is proud to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of its groundbreaking WEB™ device, which has significantly transformed the treatment landscape for aneurysms. With over 25,000 devices implanted globally between 2010 and 2025, the WEB™ has showcased its clinical efficacy and safety, making it a trustworthy option for healthcare professionals dealing with wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms.

A Breakthrough in Neurovascular Treatment



Since its introduction to the market in October 2010 after receiving CE mark approval in Europe, the WEB™ device has established itself as a pioneering tool in neurovascular care. Designed to treat wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms, it offers a clinically proven, single-device solution, simplifying procedures and enhancing patient outcomes. The first implant was expertly performed by Professor Joachim Klisch in Germany, signaling a new era in aneurysm treatment.

Clinical Evidence Supporting the WEB™ Device



The device’s reliability is backed by extensive clinical research, including seven studies of good clinical practices and over 200 peer-reviewed publications. During its fifteen years of application, the WEB™ technology has reshaped treatment methods, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional approaches, which often require multiple devices and longer procedural times.

A Statement from Leadership



Carsten Schroeder, President and CEO of Terumo Neuro, emphasized the device's significant impact: "The WEB device has set a new standard in the treatment of aneurysms and has played a crucial role in our mission to revolutionize neurovascular care. With 15 years of proven clinical success, WEB continues to improve patient outcomes while minimizing the necessity for multiple devices and lengthy procedures. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to innovating alongside leading physicians worldwide to shape the future of neurovascular care.”

Redefining Aneurysm Treatment with the WEB™ Device



The WEB™ device is recognized as the first intravascular flow disruption device globally, crafted for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms from within the aneurysm sac itself. Unlike traditional treatments that necessitate stents and coils, the WEB™ minimizes the need for dual antiplatelet therapy, simplifying procedures and enhancing patient safety with its singular design.

Noteworthy Clinical Milestones



The clinical data supporting the WEB™ device includes outstanding accomplishments:
  • - Unmatched Clinical Evidence: The device has been evaluated in over 600 patients across seven pivotal clinical trials, accumulating more than 1,464 patient-years without any recorded re-bleeding events in treated aneurysms.
  • - Proven Long-term Safety and Durability: Five-year follow-up data from WEB-IT, WEBCAST, and WEBCAST 2 trials reaffirm the sustained efficacy and safety of the WEB system, showing no device-related morbidity or mortality.
  • - Expanding Treatment Options: The introduction of the WEB 17 system provides a low-profile alternative for treating smaller aneurysms, enhancing precision and flexibility for a broader range of cases.

Terumo Neuro's commitment to advancing neurovascular technology shines through the continuous evolution of the WEB™ device. Having treated over 25,000 patients worldwide, the WEB™ remains the preferred choice for physicians seeking reliable solutions for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms.
