G-Armor Stent® and G-Armor Mounted Stent™
The G-Armor Stent® was developed in collaboration with Dr. Gareth Morgan, and was first approved for use in coarctation of the aorta in Canada in December 2021. It is composed of platinum/iridium wire that is arranged in a unique ‘zig’ pattern that is laser welded at each joint, and then over brazed with 24K gold. Available in 8 zig and 10 zig configurations for a high expansion range.
NuMED’s Latest Stent Technology
The G-Armor Stent® is manufactured by hand using high-quality materials. The stent is available in both unmounted and pre-mounted (on a BIB® catheter) configurations. The 8 zig G-Armor Stent®. has an expansion range of 12.0 – 24.0 mm. The 10 zig G-Armor Stent™ has an expansion range of 26.0 – 30.0 mm. Thanks to its considerable capacity for expansion, the G-Armor Stent™ can be re-dilated to accommodate a patient’s natural growth, potentially reducing the need for additional stent implantation.
Compared with the CP Stent®, The G-Armor Stent® maintains a longer stent length after expansion. The G-Armor Stent® is compatible with introducers ranging from 13 – 18 F, providing interventionalists with more options than previously available with the CP Stent®. With a lower foreshortening rate, longer stent length, and compatibility with 13 -18 F introducers, the G-Armor Stent® has the capability to treat a broader range of patients.
