In PCI procedures, consistent visibility and smooth device control are essential for accurate stent placement. EluNIR-PERL™ is engineered to address these requirements through a combination of its hybrid spring tip and proximal and distal radiopaque markers, supporting precise navigation in complex coronary anatomy.
Hybrid Spring Tip for Enhanced Deliverability
“The EluNIR-PERL™ DES features a newly engineered nylon-coated metal spring tip, meticulously designed to mitigate friction during traversal of calcified lesions.”
“The EluNIR-PERL tip integrates metal+ nylon jacket to give the best of both worlds.”
“Radiopaque Spring Tip designed to provide the optimal combination of flexibility and pushability.”
This tip design improves flexibility, pushability and trackability, allowing the system to advance through tortuous or calcified segments while maintaining clear distal visibility under angiography.
Radiopaque Markers for Accurate Positioning
“A combination of 4 radiopaque markers embedded at the distal and proximal ends of EluNIR-PERL™ DES, along with radiopaque metal spring tip, provides EluNIR-PERL™ with clear visibility under angio.”
“Any two embedded radiopaque markers are positioned at 90 degrees to each other, so that at least one of them can be seen from any angle, enables accurate placement.”
The paired marker layout ensures dependable visualization in multiple angiographic projections, helping operators assess stent edges, alignment and overlap with clarity.
Metal Footprint and Healing, Supported by Clear Visibility
“EluNIR-PERL’s design is aimed for lowering the metal footprint with the intent to enable better healing.”
“WiZeCell™ strut design integrates narrow and ultra-narrow width struts.”
“Very low metal-to-artery ratio of 10%.”
While lowering metal footprint can reduce inherent stent visibility, EluNIR-PERL™ addresses this with a radiopaque tip and marker system that maintains reliable visualization without compromising healing-oriented design.
Less Complexity, More Visibility
The combined effect of the hybrid spring tip and strategically placed radiopaque markers reflects the device philosophy of Less Complexity, More Visibility—supporting efficient deployment, reproducible accuracy and operator confidence across routine and complex PCI scenarios.
