SINUS

It is a self-expanding stent made of a nickel-titanium (Nitinol) alloy.
The stent has no filament crossing, no sharp edges and is MR compatible.
A micromesh design allows high vessel coverage.
The stent is semi flexible with a high radial force and presents two different configurations, cylindrical and conical. The conical stent is fit for vessels with extreme variations in diameter.
The delivery system (135 cm) is based on a very low-profile (2.7 Fr) device with a nitinol core to grant high pushability and kink resistance.
The system is based on a rapid-exchange technology working on a 0.014" platform with a flexible, atraumatic tip that reduces vessel irritation.
The 5 Fr braided sheath reduces friction and allows an easy stent deployment.
It requires a minimum 5 Fr introducer sheath (1.66 mm) or 7 Fr guiding catheter (2.33 mm).
"Anti-jump technique" allows accurate placement without stent jumping.
The stent deployment is performed with a coaxial pull-back system with a very low friction; once deployment is started the stent cannot be repositioned or recaptured.
Platinum markers placed on the device make the correct deployment of the stent easy and safe.
In addition no stent foreshortening is reported.
