Excellence in Stent Design

• Wedge-shaped transitions at the stent ends allow for consistent scaffolding throughout the entire length of the stent.
• Helical meanders give flexibility to the stent for excellent delivery while leaving a smooth crimped profile.
• Longitudinal connectors provide stability for optimal scaffolding and support without sacrificing flexibility.

Thermal Crimping Technology

Thermal crimping techniques have been developed to ensure secure stent retention forces as well as a smooth, low crossing profile.

Ultra-Thin Struts Design

Struts of only 60 μm² result in exceptional flexibility and deliverability of the stent in even the most challenging anatomy.

Improved Stent Surface Biocompatibility

proBIO silicon carbide coating acts as a diffusion barrier, sealing the bare metal surface and reducing ion release. In vitro studies have shown up to a 96% reduction of allergenic metal ions³ when the stent surface is coated with silicon carbide.
By providing a barrier against ion release, the silicon carbide coating creates a surface that reduces platelet aggregation while facilitating endothelialization.¹

Innovative Stent Delivery System

The stent delivery system is built on trusted balloon technologies and provides excellent deliverability and placement accuracy. The soft tapered balloon tip eases crossing lesions and 1 mm balloon markers enable precise stent placement. Furthermore the Enhanced Force Transmission (EFT) shaft adds pushability and kink resistance.
