Description:
A multi lumen string for ease of selection of branch stents in complex aneurysm repair
Sanford Tech ID: 0010-01
Invention Summary
0010-01 is snarable device that can be pre loaded in the delivery system of branched and fenestrated stent grafts. The multiple strings will be pre canulated in the branch stents and will be reversibly coupled to a common harness proximal to the stent graft. Once the main body stent graft is deployed, this harness can be snared and the strings can be pulled through the arterial access site in the arm. Catheters can be advanced over these strings and the strings can be replaced with guide wires.
Value Proposition
*Allows for ease-of-selection of the branch stents in complex aneurysm repair.
*May reduce procedure time and reduce radiation and IV contrast exposure.
Market Opportunity
This technology can provide a strategic advantage for companies who have an already existing line of branched and fenestrated stent grafts.
Intellectual Property
Pending utility patent application in the US and Europe.
Development Status
To date, drawings have been made. Next steps are to develop a prototype.
