Q’Apel Medical Inc. has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with the Walrus Balloon Guide Catheter (BGC). Since 2019, the Walrus BGC has been the U.S. market-leading device for Neuro Interventional physicians, and has been used to successfully treat over 20,000 patients. Recently, Q’Apel was granted the CE Mark under MDR to make their revolutionary device available to a wider international audience.
The revolutionary Walrus BGC has revolutionized the field of Mechanical Thrombectomy procedures, bringing unparalleled advantages to physicians.

With Walrus, physicians have access to the best of both worlds – superior ease of use and superior patient outcomes.
The excitement for Walrus from our global markets has been tremendous, and we have high hopes that our international customers will show the same enthusiasm and commitment to Walrus that we have seen in America. At Q’Apel Medical, we are thrilled to finally be able to offer Walrus to our customers around the world.
We are delighted to announce that Walrus, Q’Apel Medical’s flagship catheter, is now available on the European and international market following the successful CE Mark certification.
