Ephesos II SDS (Stent Delivery System)
Stent Material
The main material used in this stent is 316LVM coded stainless steel. This material has been successfully utilized for many years as the main material in stent manufacturing and has been proven safe for human health.
Radial Strength
EPHESOS II has a high radial strength stemming from its design and from the specification of its material..
Flexibility
EPHESOS II stent is designed to provide optimum flexibility and maximum radial strength in reaching areas characterized by tortuous lesion.
Homogeneous Stent Expansion
The design of EPHESOS II stent provides a homogeneous expansion which results in an optimum vessel coverage [1, 2].
Recoil
Low recoil rate (3%) ensures accuracy in reaching the target nominal lesion diameter while decreasing restenosis rates [1, 2, 3].
Minimal Foreshortening
Minimally foreshortened stent provides an appropriate and accurate placement which helps cover the lesion length precisely.
High-Quality Electro Polishing
High quality polishing of the stent decreases the potential risk rate of thrombosis and restenosis. [1, 2, 3]
Delivery System
HYDROMERTM HYDROPHILIC coated hypo-tube, proximal shaft and distal shaft provides low friction that enhances trackability and pushability. Low crossing profile provides an excellent lesion crossing.
Inner Lumen
Carbon reinforced inner lumen decreases the frictional force.
