Specifications:The document provides technical data for the ProPass
stent system, detailing various stent diameters ranging from 2.50 mm to 4.00 mm and lengths from 8 mm to 38 mm. The stents are designed for use with balloons of corresponding sizes, with compliance measurements provided at pressures ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 Mpa (2 to 20 bar). The nominal pressure is specified at 6 BAR (0.6 Mpa).
Materials and Design:The stent is made from medical-grade 316L stainless steel and coated with medical-grade platinum, providing a microsmooth surface. The coating thickness is 0.25 microns. The stent features a dual articulated design with straight articulations at the ends and angled S-shaped articulations in the mid-segments, ensuring high flexibility and radial strength.
Features and Benefits:The ProPass stent system is characterized by its ultra-low profile and excellent radiopacity, allowing for precise positioning. It offers high radial strength, flexibility, and excellent side branch access. The design prevents plaque prolapse at implanted sites and ensures uniform endothelial coverage, as confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
Manufacturing and Contact Information:The stent is manufactured by Vascular Concepts Limited, with locations in the United Kingdom and India. Contact details, including telephone and fax numbers, are provided for both locations.
Performance and Testing:Images and tests post-implantation demonstrate the stent's flexibility, trackability, and ability to achieve optimal acute results. The stent's design ensures no flaring of struts around bends, contributing to its performance.
