SUPERA VERITAS™ Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is indicated for palliative treatment of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.

Device Description

The SUPERA VERITAS™ Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is a 7Fr, 0.014" or 0.018" guidewire compatible, multi-lumen sheath based delivery system comprised of a Handle and a SUPERA® Biliary Stent. The stent delivery catheter includes a radiopaque Stent Length Marker Band and Distal Sheath Marker Band embedded in the Outer Sheath to aid in proper stent positioning; a Thurnb Slide connected internally for advancing the Stent out of the Outer Sheath while the Outer Sheath moves proximally in a de-coupled fashion; a Sheath Flush Port for flushing the central lumen of the device; a Deployment Lock that when actuated enables the final deployment stroke of the stent; a Guidewire Lumen with a radiopaque Catheter Tip located on the distal end of the Catheter Shaft; a Guidewire Flush Port used for flushing the Guidewire Lumen; a Stent Driver which deploys the stent distally relative to the Outer Sheath; the System Lock which eliminates the possibility of premature deployment. The working length of the delivery catheter is 120cm.

The SUPERA® Stent housed within the SUPERA VERITAS" stent delivery catheter is a closed end interwoven self-expanding Nitinol stent. The SUPERA® stent is composed of 6 interwoven, closed loop Nitinol wires. The wire loops are closed via a proprietary welding process which utilizes small Nitinol tubes that act as a coupler to provide the mechanical means of joining the wire ends.
