Device-Type
Self-Expanding Stents
Manufacturer
Biotronik, Inc.
Indicated for improving luminal diameter in patients with iliac atherosclerotic lesions in vessel reference diameters between 4.3 and 9.5 mm and lesion lengths up to 105 mm. A stent designed for iliac artery lesions which are often calcified and occluded. Both the stent and radiopaque markers are completely coated with proBIO. Unique “S-articulations” intend to facilitate stent conformability which allows the stent to track vessel movement while maintaining required chronic outward force.
KEY FACTS
- Pull-back delivery system enables simple stent deployment
- 5.2 F proximal shaft for contrast injection while device in sheath
- Segmented stent design and strut thickness designed for to provide sufficient chronic outward force in the iliac territory
- S-articulating connecting bars enable peak-to-valley design for multi-directional flexibility
Features and Benefits
Easy Release
Relieves friction of introducer valve on the retractable shaft during stent deployment, providing a smoother stent release.
Segmented Stent Design for Iliac Artery
- Peak-to-valley design and S-articulating connecting bars provide multi-directional flexibility and avoid fish-scaling in tortuous arteries.
- Segmented design and strut thickness designed to provide sufficient chronic outward force.
Stent Visibility
Four gold markers at each end of the stent enhance visibility.
Pull-Back Delivery System
Enables simple stent deployement.
Safety Tab
Designed to prevent accidental stent deployment.
proBIO reduces ion release
- proBIO reduces release of Nickel and other metal ions from the stent.
- proBIO acts as an effective and reliable barrier to Nickel and other heavy metal ion diffusion.
6 F Introducer Compatibility
6F distal shaft with 5.2F proximal shaft allows contrast injection while the device is positioned inside the introducer and across the lesion.
