ABSTRACT
Description • Balloon expandable closed cell design • BX design permits independent tailoring of radial
strength and flexibility elements for optimal stent performance
• ‘N’ shaped ‘Flex Segment’ between stent struts provides optimal flexibility with a completely connected tubular slotted design
• Full range of sizes in both over-the-wire and rapid exchange configurations
• Excellent side branch access without strut breakage or loss of vessel scaffolding
• Wall thickness of 0.0055 inch provides high radial strength and good radiopacity
• Crimped on low profile matched balloons to create a smooth outer surface for direct stenting
• 16 atm rated burst pressure, mean burst >20 atm • Less than 1.5 mm foreshortening on expansion due to
stretch-ability of Flex Segment links.
