The Supera Peripheral Stent is a unique class of SFA Technology. Engineered with an innovative interwoven wire technology, this nitinol stent offers physicians unmatched clinical outcomes1-12 across varied lesion complexities and lengths.
Advanced Stent Technology for Peripheral ArteriesUtilizing proprietary interwoven Nitinol technology and robust cobalt-chromium construction, the Abbott Supera Stent delivers exceptional resistance to crushing and kinking, making it ideal for peripheral artery locations subject to flexion and movement. The stents four radiopaque marker bands enable highly precise real-time positioning during deployment.
User-Friendly and Versatile ApplicationCompatible with both 0.014" and 0.018" guidewires, the stents over-the-wire delivery system allows for controlled and accurate placement. A choice of stent diameter (47 mm) and length (20150 mm) supports a wide range of vascular anatomies. The device is designed for use in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries.
Trusted Safety and Sterility StandardsEach Abbott Supera Peripheral Stent is EO gas-sterilized and provided in a sealed, sterile pouch to ensure optimal safety. The product is single-use, disposable, and MR conditionalsafe for magnetic resonance imaging under specified conditions. Storage is simple: keep the stent in a cool, dry place, and refer to the labeled shelf life for usability.
FAQs of Abbott Supera Peripheral Stent:
Q: How is the Abbott Supera Peripheral Stent deployed?
A: The stent is deployed manually using an over-the-wire delivery system compatible with either 0.014" or 0.018" guidewires, allowing for precise placement within the targeted peripheral arteries.
Q: What are the recommended vessels for placement of this stent?
A: This stent is specifically indicated for the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and the proximal segment of the popliteal artery, where its flexible and crush-resistant properties are most beneficial.
Q: When can the Abbott Supera Stent be considered for use in patients?
A: It is considered for patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease where arterial narrowing or blockage requires endovascular intervention to restore adequate blood flow in the specified vessels.
Q: Where should I store the Supera Stent before use?
A: The stent should be stored in its original sterile pouch, placed in a cool, dry area, and used within its shelf life of up to three years as indicated on the packaging.
Q: What is the stent made of and how does its design benefit patients?
A: Made from a cobalt-chromium alloy and featuring an interwoven Nitinol design, the stent provides excellent flexibility, crush, and kink resistance, enhancing durability and placement accuracy in tortuous vascular anatomies.
Q: What kind of imaging guidance is recommended during deployment?
A: Radiopaque marker bands on the stent ensure high placement accuracy under fluoroscopic imaging, facilitating real-time visualization and control during procedures.
Q: Is the Abbott Supera Peripheral Stent MRI-safe?
A: Yes, the stent is MR conditional, meaning it can be safely scanned under specific MRI conditions described in the products instructions for use.
