Invatec launches Maris Plus self-expanding peripheral stent system

Invatec, a comprehensive innovator of interventional products, today launched its latest self-expanding peripheral stent system, Maris Plus in new 6, 7 and 8mm diameters, ideal for interventions involving the superficial femoral arteries (SFA). The 9, 10 and 12mm diameters of the stent are already marketed for the iliac artery.

“It was our goal to offer dedicated stent geometries to respond to the different needs of the iliac and SFA arteries. With the Maris Plus, we have created a stent with an overlap region that allows two stents to act like one in the femoral artery”

The Maris Plus stent features an exclusive cell design at the stent ends. This allows physicians to place several stents in series without stiffening the artery in the overlap region. The Maris Plus becomes the sixth stent platform now marketed by Invatec for the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), greatly optimising visibility, flexibility and ease of use for the physician.

“It was our goal to offer dedicated stent geometries to respond to the different needs of the iliac and SFA arteries. With the Maris Plus, we have created a stent with an overlap region that allows two stents to act like one in the femoral artery,” said Stefan Widensohler and Andrea Venturelli, co-founders of Invatec. The distinct design provides excellent flexibility, fracture resistance, and tailored deployment. Additionally, larger and fully integrated tantalum markers greatly enhance visibility for the physician.
