High Performance on a Wire
The Challenge:
Time and Cost of Conventional Stenting
Conventional stenting procedures can be time-consuming and costly. Conventional procedures such as over-the-wire and rapid exchange, utilize at least 13 steps. How would eliminating 7 of 13 steps reduce your procedural time and costs?
The Solution:
Direct Stenting with Svelte Acrobat
The ultimate direct stenting device. The total time and cost savings will benefit the physician, the staff and the patient. By reducing the number of steps in the procedure to six, the total reduction in procedural time could be at least 10 minutes and could equate to an estimated savings of $500.00 per case. By saving time, using fewer tools, less fluoro and less contrast, the Svelte Acrobat is positioned to be The Ultimate Direct Stenting Device. Svelte Acrobat stent delivery system makes time and cost savings possible in 6 steps:
 1. Load Introducer |
 2. Load Stent Delivery System |
 3. Advance Stent |
 4. Deploy Stent |
 5. Assess Lesion |
 6. Remove Delivery System |
Svelte Acrobat Components
A. Luer Hub and Loop Clip
- Simple and familiar inflation device connection
- Loop clip keeps device secured between uses to prevent exposure and contamination
B. Integrated Torquer Device
- Facilitates convenient maneuverability
- Incorporates readily available technique for handling
C. Unibody Construction
- Sleek, low profile design delivers flexibility and trackability for ease of use
- All-in-one design allows the operator to maintain complete system control
- Safe and secure for maneuvering through tortuous anatomy
- Hydrophilic coating minimizes friction within the guide and the vessel
- Translates energy and torque directly to tip for true and responsive handling
- Acrobat's entire crimped stent profile compares in size to the crossing profile of the average pre-dilatation balloon.
- Makes device prep simple, just flush the hoop and go
D. Balloon Control Bands
- Preserves pre and post vascular integrity by reducing balloon protrusion beyond stent edges
- Promotes the “Healthy to Healthy” stent philosophy
- Contributes to controlled inflation and defltion for optimal balloon utilization
- Reduces the growth of the balloon minimizing vessel trauma outside the borders of the stent
E. Nylon Balloon
- Low compliance provides controlled expansion within the boundaries of the stent
- Strong and reliable material makes it capable of multiple inflations
F. Cobalt Chromium Hybrid Stent Design
- Cobalt Chromium (L605CoCr) provides proven eficacy in coronary procedures
- Thin struts enhance deliverability without compromise to radial strength or radiopacity
- Hybrid stent design with J-link connectors for uniform expansion and enhanced vessel conformability
G. 22 mm Flexible Coil Wire Tip
- Atraumatic and small (0.012") to minimize vessel contact
- Easily shapeable to facilitate steering and navigation of vessel
- 22 mm length provides effective wire purchase for securing device position
