    Vascular Intervention Peripheral Stent Systems

    Product Highlights

    140 μm thin struts

    4F low profile

    Clinically proven

    140 μm thin struts

    Thinner than the leading brands1

    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

    Stent designed for SFA*: multi-directional flexibility to conform to the natural vessel movement

    *Superficial Femoral Artery

    4F low profile

    Improved acute outcomes¤ vs. 6F7

    Potential for safer, faster and simpler procedures than 6F

    • Clinically proven lower access site complication rates7

    • Shorter compression time7

    • 45% smaller puncture site area than 6F8

    • No need for a closure device7

    • Potential for ambulatory treatment

    One-handed stent release handle with easy release system, ergonomically designed for a comfortable and stable handling

    Easy release

    Relieves friction of introducer valve on the retractable shaft during stent deployment, providing a smoother action. 

    Clinically proven

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

    Safe and effective at 12 months

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

    24-month outcomes of Pulsar, highlighting the long term safety and efficacy
