CREDO® Stent

Flexible self-expanding Nitinol stent for gentle treatment of intracranial stenosis

The CREDO® Stent is a laser-cut stent for ICAD* treatment, used for stabilisation of the affected vessel section following a balloon angioplasty.

  • Over-the-wire system
  • Unique treatment concept
  • Deliverable through the NeuroSpeed® PTA Balloon Catheter with an inner diameter of 0.0165’’
  • PTA + stenting without catheter exchange
  • Minimised procedural risks
  • Suitable for vessels within a diameter range of 2.0 to 4.0 mm

* ICAD Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease

VERSATILE OPTIONS - LESS PROCEDURAL RISKS

With diameters of 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm the CREDO® Stent is suitable for vessels within a diameter range of 2.0 to 4.0 mm. Due to its low profile the stent can be delivered through the NeuroSpeed® PTA Balloon Catheter with an inner diameter of 0.0165’’. Consequently, an exchange of the PTA balloon catheter by a microcatheter is not required for the stent delivery – minimising the procedure time and procedural risks.

The combination of CREDO® Stent and NeuroSpeed® PTA Balloon Catheter offers versatile options for a gentle and effective treatment of intracranial stenosis under consideration of patient-specific chances and risks.

RELIABLE STENT PLATFORM

  • Low profile stent
  • HRF versions for treatments where higher radial force is required
  • Perfect surface finish

PERFECT CONTROL

  • J-Tip transport wire
  • Resheatability up to 90 %
  • Improved X-ray marker
 
 
 

IMPROVED X-RAY MARKER

Visibility leads to maximum safety. The three flat Platinum-Iridium X-ray markers on each end of the CREDO® Stent and the middle marker on the transport wire support a safe and precise placement under fluoroscopy.
