FLEXIBLE STENTING SOLUTIONS

Flexible Stenting Solutions, Inc. is a privately held medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of flexible stents built on a proprietary design platform. The company has developed a third generation self-expanding stent designed for the harsh loading conditions present in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. Their fully connected stent has coupled technology with clinical needs by providing a highly durable and fatigue resistant stent with superior radia... l stiffness and low chronic outward force. The key to the stent technology is the integration of helically wound struts with helical flexible coils providing a mechanism optimized for vigorous applications. The key to the delivery technology is simplicity, ease of use and placement. Flexible Stenting Solutions received CE Mark authorization for both its FlexStent® Femoropopliteal and Biliary Self Expanding (SE) Stent Systems in January 2009. The company received 510(k) clearance for its FlexStent® Biliary Self Expanding Stent System in September 2009. This stent will provide a significant benefit to patients requiring palliation of malignant biliary strictures by relieving symptoms caused by biliary obstruction.More
