Coronary Stent System*
USA | International Clinical Studies
Material
Elixir's first coronary stent is manufactured from a cobalt chromium alloy, a material that has a history of use in vascular implants. Cobalt chromium offers greater strength and improved visualization under fluoroscopy compared to stents made from stainless steel. This allows Elixir's coronary stent to have 33 percent lower strut thickness than a stainless steel stent, without compromising radial strength and radiopacity.
Design
The Elixir stent is designed utilizing Computer Aided Design and Finite Element Analysis to optimize
- Deliverability,
- Radial strength,
- Vessel coverage, and
- Crimped stent profile.
Stent Delivery System
The balloon-expandable stent is mounted on a low-profile rapid-exchange delivery system for excellent trackability and deliverability
