Specs
- Second-Generation Unibody Branched Design: Cratos™ retains the integrated side branch structure of Castor™, aiming to minimize the risk of type III endoleaks and device migration.
- Active Bird-Beak Control: The delivery system includes an active control mechanism to adjust the proximal sealing zone, enhancing conformity to the aortic arch's curvature and reducing the "bird-beak" effect.
- Reduced Sheath Profile: The outer sheath diameter has been decreased to 22F, lowering vascular access requirements and expanding the range of applicable patients.
- Misuse-Proof Deployment Mechanism: A redesigned trigger wire system ensures sequential deployment steps, simplifying the procedure and enhancing safety.
- Regulatory Status: Custom-Made Device (CMD) Certification: Cratos™ has achieved CMD status under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), allowing for its use in specific patient cases within the European Union. Full Specs
