The EverFlex stent is designed for use in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), specifically in the iliac arteries.
Key features of the EverFlex Protege stent may include:
Self-Expanding Design: The stent is self-expanding, meaning it can open and conform to the shape of the artery without the need for balloon inflation.
Nitinol Construction: The stent is typically made of nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy known for its flexibility and ability to maintain shape memory.
Longitudinal Flexibility: The stent is designed to provide longitudinal flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the natural movement of the vessel.
Iliac Artery Treatment: The EverFlex Protege stent is specifically indicated for use in the iliac arteries, which are located in the pelvis.
