Description:
Variable Push/Pull Rate Woven Nitinol Stent Device Deployment System
Sanford Tech ID: 0002-02
Invention Summary
0002-02 is a gear system that allows for variable rates of deployment and retraction that enable the operator to pack the stent in areas where cell size is critical or where calcifications require stent impaction.
Value Proposition
*Allows for stent packing when deploying in calcified lesions.
*Allows for stent packing when proper flow diversion is not achieved.
Market Opportunity
This technology provides a strategic advantage for companies who have traditional pin-and-pull deployment systems for their already existing woven nitinol devices. Provides differentiation in the market.
Intellectual Property
Granted patent in the US.
Development Status
To date, drawings have been made. Next steps are to develop a prototype.
