    Pulsar 18 T3

Pulsar®-18 T3

A unique combination of 3 technologies

Pulsar-18 T3 is the first clinically-proven thin strut stent mounted on a tri-axial low profile (4F) delivery system. It is indicated for use in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the superficial femoral, proximal popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries and for the treatment of insufficient results after Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA), e.g. residual stenosis and dissection.*

Tri-axial system with braided shaft

Tri-axial system with braided shaft

Accurate stent deployment

Unique tri-axial shaft design

The outer stabilizing shaft isolates the retractable shaft from friction caused by the introducer valve to ensure accurate stent deployment

Low profile delivery system

Smaller puncture site area1

4F low profile - improved acute outcomes* vs. 6F³

Thin struts, low COF

Lower risk of restenosis2

140 μm thin struts - thinner than leading brands¹

Thinner struts for lower Chronic Outward Force (COF)1

Thinner struts and lower COF make a difference:*

  • Lower risk of restenosis2
  • Reduced vessel injury and inflammation2
  • Faster endothelialization4,5
