Hndreds of thousands of lesions stented annually are nickel sensitive.
Strong evidence supports the relation between nickel sensitivity and restenosis¹
Premier Coronary Stent System
High Procedural Success Rate
The Premier Coronary Stent is designed to promote low target vessel revascularization rate (TVR), by pioneering the use of a superior strength essentially nickel free alloy which enables it to have: - The thinnest struts
- The lowest surface coverage area
- Significantly less metal than any other coronary stent
- the Premier possesses the characteristics of extremely low strut thickness, surface coverage area and nickel content. This was achieved through a unique closed cell design and careful material selection.
- The PremierTM Coronary Stent System has a rapid exchange stent delivery system consisting of:
