iCAST™ Covered Stent
Atrium’s patented iCAST™ covered stent is a perfect blend of stent craftsmanship and biomaterial science. The Balloon Expandable iCAST™ stent provides unsurpassed deployment accuracy due to its precision stent delivery platform and its low foreshortening design. The iCAST™ stent is crafted using Atrium’s patented PTFE film encapsulation technology. The balloon expandable iCAST™ covered stent utilizes a one-step deployment technique for precise, accurate placement.
The ultra-thin iCAST™ covered stent uses the latest developments in microporous PTFE film to maximize cellular biocompatibility. Atrium’s Film-Cast Encapsulation Technology protects the 316L stainless steel struts from contacting the luminal wall and is designed to expand uniformly to prevent tissue from prolapsing through the expanded stent. The patented filmcast covering also helps evenly distribute radial expansion stress during balloon deployment, creating more uniform deployment and minimizing trauma to the supporting tissue. The iCAST™ covered stent has the lowest crossing profile compared to other commercially available covered stents. Lower profile means more efficient delivery.
When precision deployment means everything, let the iCAST 6FR/7Fr profile make difficult entry targets possible. The iCAST™ balloon expandable covered stent is .035" guidewire compatible. With its one-step balloon delivery system, the iCAST™ covered stent is suitable for treatment areas ranging from 5mm to 12mm diameters. The ultra low crossing profile is made possible by Atrium’s exclusive PowerCrimp Technology and Atrium’s Anertia™ balloon catheter technology. Atrium's advanced balloon expandable iCAST™ covered stent is a new benchmark for ease of use and precision deployment.
iCAST™ is FDA approved for tracheobronchial use
