Interventional firm Guidant has launched a new self-expanding stent system for noncoronary anatomy. The Dynalink .035 biliary self-expanding stent is being launched in the U.S. in conjunction with the European introduction of the Indianapolis-based vendor's Dynalink .035 peripheral self-expanding stent system.
Both versions are compatible with a 0.035-inch guide wire, and feature the company's Dynalink stent, which is constructed of nitinol. Guidant said the use of nitinol allows the stent to automatically expand at the site of a blockage.
