Zilver® PTX® Drug-Eluting Peripheral Stent
The Zilver PTX Drug-Eluting Peripheral Stent is a self-expanding stent made of nitinol and coated with the drug paclitaxel. It is a flexible, slotted tube that is designed to provide support while maintaining flexibility in the vessel upon deployment. Post-deployment, the stent is designed to impart an outward radial force upon the inner lumen of the vessel, establishing patency in the stented region.
The stent is preloaded in a 6 French delivery catheter. Hand-loading of the stent is not possible. Stent deployment is controlled by rotating the thumbwheel on the handle.
Indicated for improving luminal diameter for the treatment of de novo or restenotic symptomatic lesions in native vascular disease of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal arteries having reference vessel diameter from 4 mm to 7 mm and total lesion lengths up to 300 mm per patient.
