RX Acculink Carotid Stent System (U.S)
ACCUrate Delivery and Control
The RX ACCULINK Carotid Stent System is designed to provide easy and accurate stent placement in patients who have carotid atherosclerosis and are at high risk for conventional surgery. The 0.014” guide wire compatible RX ACCULINK Carotid Stent System is 6F sheath/8F guide catheter compatible for all available stent sizes. The RX ACCULINK utilizes rapid exchange (RX) technology so that a single operator can easily control the embolic protection device and stent delivery system during catheter manipulations.
The RX ACCULINK offers a broad variety of stent sizes so that physicians can select the right stent for their patients. Straight stents are offered in diameters of 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 mm diameters and lengths of 20, 30, and 40 mm. Tapered stents are also available in order to match the diameters of both the internal carotid and common carotid arteries. The tapered ACCULINK stents come in diameters of 6.0-8.0 mm and 7.0-10.0 mm and lengths of 30 and 40 mm.
Accuracy in stent placement is achieved through the design of both the delivery system and the stent. The delivery system has a unique and easy-to-use deployment handle designed for accurate and controlled stent placement. On the stent itself, there are three longitudinal spines that minimize deployment shortening, allowing high accuracy of placement. The nitinol structure is crush-resistant and allows for excellent flexibility and conformability.
