Key Benefits
Accurate stent deployment6,7
Tri-axial system with braided shaft
Lower risk of restenosis8
Thin struts, low COF
Smaller puncture site area
Low profile delivery system
Clinically proven even in complex lesions9
Positive results even for long and occluded lesions in a high risk population
What is Chronic Outward Force (COF) and why does it matter?
Chronic Outward Force (COF) is the force exerted on the vessel wall by a self-expanding stent to achieve its present diameter.11 Thinner struts, which have lower COF, result in a lower risk of restenosis, reduced vessel injury and inflammation and faster endothelialization.8,12,13
Thinner struts for lower COF14
Benefits of low COF:
- Lower risk of restenosis8
- Reduced vessel injury and inflammation12
- Faster endothelialization13
Easy to use, intuitive wheel operated handle.
The first tri-axial, 4F thin-strut stent system for the treatment of lower limb peripheral arterial disease.
