Inert Peripheral Balloon Expandable Stent System

The Inert Peripheral Balloon Expandable Stent System is indicated for the treatment of peripheral arteries with diameter between 5.0 mm - 12 mm. De novo and restenotic peripheral arteries e.g. External iliac, internal iliac, common iliac, superficial femoral, deep femoral profunda and renal arteries.

Benefits

> Precision and ease of use
> Flexible stent design
> High radial strength
> Soft, tapered balloon tip for less trauma
> Good accessibility and high pushability across the lesion

Inert Carbon Technology

High speed bombardment of C+-ions under vacuum onto alloy’s surface

Under vacuum conditions carbon ions are shot with high load of energy on the stent surface, so that the ions are implanted within the metal lattice under the alloy’s surface.

Carbon ions are shot with high energy under vacuum onto the stent’s surface with subsequent penetration. This means carbon ions take free places or displace heavy metal ions like molybdenum or nickel within the lattice.

Since carbon is the most abounded element and physically incorporated within each body cell it makes up a high degree of bio-compatibility and consequently confers this feature to the alloy. The penetrating depth of the carbon is max. 50 nm.
