Interventional technology developer Cook has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its Zenith Flex AAA endovascular graft and H&L-B One-Shot introduction system. The endograft system features a more widely spaced stent body to allow the device to better conform to tortuous anatomy, according to the Bloomington, IN-based firm.
The new design also decreases the Zenith Flex stent-graft's kink radius to 68%, allowing it to bend around tighter turns in the aorta with less chance of kinking, Cook said. The endograft and delivery system will begin shipping in the fourth quarter.
