Pulsar®-35

    Clinically proven thin struts stent with tri-axial delivery system

    Indicated for use in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the femoral and proximal popliteal arteries, in particular for the treatment of insufficient results after Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA), e.g. residual stenosis and dissection.*

    Product Highlights

    140 μm thin struts

    Clinically proven

    Tri-axial delivery system

    140 μm thin struts

    Pulsar-35 struts are thinner than the leading brands.1

    Thinner struts for low Chronic Outward Force (COF)²

    Thinner struts and lower COF make a difference:*

    • Lower risk of restenosis3
    • Reduced vessel injury and inflammation3
    • Faster endothelialization4,5

    Clinically proven

    Long term safety and efficacy (24-month data), even in calcified lesions

    Clinically proven even in calcified lesions (4EVER), total occlusions (TASC D) and in all-comers registry (BIOFLEX PEACE).¤

    ¤Clinical outcomes of Pulsar-18 can be used to illustrate clinical outcomes of Pulsar-35 due to identical stent platforms FTLR - Freedom from Target Lesion Revascularization; PP - Primary Patency; A.L.L. - Average Lesion Length

    Sufficient radial force for a long term vessel support, even in calcified lesions

    Accurate stent deployment

    Tri-axial delivery system with ergonomic release handle

    One-handed stent release handle, ergonomically designed for a comfortable and stable handling.

    Tri-axial delivery system: the outer shaft isolates the retractable shaft from friction caused by the introducer valve to ensure accurate stent deployment.
