Roadsaver

Carotid Stent System

  • Designed as a closed cell stent with the flexibility of an open cell stent1
  • Provides excellent flexibility and vessel wall apposition1
  • Conforms to tortuous anatomy1,2
  • In-vivo self-tapering to ICA-CCA* segments1

​RoadsaverTM stent has been designed to minimize the risk of peri- and early post-procedural cerebral embolization events related to the carotid artery stenting (CAS), the main CAS limitation with conventional platforms that warrant further attention in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients​
Roadsaver is a braided nitinol carotid stent that incorporates: ​
  • Inner layer​
    • With one of the smallest pore sizes (375-700 μm) providing good plaque coverage and sustained embolic protection​
  • Outer layer ​
    • With excellent flexibility and conformability in tortuous anatomies ​
  • Low profile 5F and flexible rapid exchange delivery system for all stent sizes ​
    • Facilitating the stent delivery

​Safety and effectiveness of CAS with RoadsaverTM is supported by a large body of clinical evidence (short-/long term outcomes) in both, asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. ​

  • Low 30-day Major Adverse Event rate (i.e. death & stoke)3 ​
  • Mesh-covered stents may minimize plaque protrusion compared to conventional stents4
  • Roadsaver (micromesh) limits subclinical events during CAS procedure relative to single-layer stent5​
  • Good long-term performance of the RoadsaverTM stent up to 4 years6
  • Trans-radial approach is feasible with RoadsaverTM stent7 and may avoid cervical surgical cut-downs, reduce arch manipulation and shorten procedural time8
