A variable sidebranch ostium anatomy requires a unique solution & an optimal stent design.

The elastic properties of nitinol allow such adaptability to various morphologies. The combination of self-expanding nitinol with a unique, conforming stent design provide for constant outward radial force on the lumen.

The Sideguard stent therefore dynamically apposes the full sidebranch lumen including the ostium. This dynamic apposition results in continuous stent to vessel wall contact as well as an increase in vessel diameter over time.

The Sideguard stent is the dynamic option for treating bifurcation disease and delivers the advantages of nitinol to coronary sidebranch stenting.

Unique, Balloon-Released, Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent:

* Trumpet-shape conforms to the sidebranch ostium

* Dynamic stent design ensures continuous wall apposition & positive remodelling

Novel, Low-Profile Balloon-Catheter Delivery System:

* Straightforward, rapid-exchange delivery

* Eliminates stent snagging through tortuous anatomies & calcified lesions

* Proprietary split-sheath technology ensures precise deployment
