The Xcelerant Hydro Delivery System features a uniquely integrated sheath that contributes to the system’s low profile characteristics, which are intended to enable excellent tracking and access through small vessels. In bench testing, the Xcelerant Hydro Delivery System was shown to generate a 99% reduction in friction compared to the previous delivery system, which does not have the hydrophilic coating.
Dierk Scheinert, leader of the worldwide team to implant the device using the new delivery system, said: “The Xcelerant Hydro Delivery System is a significant innovation that will make endovascular repair using the Talent Stent Graft a treatment option for more patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.”
