Hippocampus™ Renal RX Stent System 0.014”

Renal Artery Stenting

  • Hippocampus Renal Stent System

Overview

Treat the renal artery with the stent designed specifically for renal artery angioplasty, the Hippocampus™ renal RX stent system. Available on an 0.014" platform, the stent offers precise ostial placement, ostial scaffolding, enhanced pushability, and progressive flexibility on the distal balloon segment. Access the renal artery via a femoral, axiliar, brachial, or radial approach with an 80 or 145 cm long catheter shaft. Available in stent diameters from 4 to 7 mm, and stent lengths from 10 to 24 mm.

Indications

The Hippocampus™ renal stent system is intended for use in the treatment of stenoses in peripheral arteries, especially in patients with ostial renal artery stenosis and/or insufficient results after PTRA in the distal segment of the renal vessels (e.g., >30% residual stenosis, dissection, obstruction due to detached atherosclerotic plaque material, or reocclusion).

Product Details

Features

The Hippocampus™ renal RX is a rapid exchange stent platform that is dedicated to renal artery treatment.

Precise Ostial Positioning

  • The Hippocampus™ stent provides minimal foreshortening and precise alignment of proximal stent position and stent delivery system marker.

Enhanced Pushability

  • The combination of a shortened RX segment and NiTi wire reinforcement provides optimal balance between flexibility and pushability.

Progressive Flexibility

  • The progressive flexibility on the distal balloon segment reduces the likelihood of the stent system straightening the guidewire, which could result in the loss of wire position.
Hippocampus Ostial Flaring

Hippocampus™ Ostial Flaring
The Hippocampus™ is designed for proximal ostial flaring and scaffolding.

Hippocampus Closed Cell Design

Hippocampus™ Closed Cell Design
The Hippocampus™ stent features a closed cell stainless steel design with proximal ostial flaring capability.

Hippocampus Progressive Flexibility

Hippocampus™ Progressive Flexibility
The distal balloon segment of the hippocampus™ stent system has progressive flexibility to help prevent loss of guidewire position during insertion.

Delivery and Deployment

Access possibilities

  • Access the renal artery via a femoral, axiliar, brachial, or radial approach with 80 or 145 cm long catheter shaft.

Insertion

Hippocampus Deployment Step One

Step One
Insert the guidewire into the renal artery.

Hippocampus Deployment Step Two

Step Two
Advance the Hippocampus™ stent into the renal artery.

Hippocampus Deployment Step Three

Step Three
Flare the ostial segment of the Hippocampus™ stent inside the renal artery ostium using a second PTA balloon with a diameter that matches the diameter of the vessel at the ostial segment.
