HPC is added to Flow Diversor technology.
Its English acronym means Hydrophilic Polymer Coating.
HPC prevents triggering in the coagulation cascade and reduces the risk of thrombus formation in PHENOX devices, seeking to make the DAPT obsolete.
What is the mechanism of action:
GLICOCALIX is a natural lining of the endothelium that indicates an intact inner wall and that platelets have no receptor for it.
The action of the HPC imitates GLICOCALIX, so the platelets do not recognize the surface of these devices as a foreign body. Systemic blood coagulation is not disturbed.
This new category of intraluminal device treats intracranial bifurcation, and wide- and complex neck aneurysms.
It is designed to support the mass of coils at the neck of aneurysms that cannot be easily embolized.
Evolution of the pCONUS 2 concept
Less metal in the main vessel. The shorter shaft provides reliable stability.
Optimized neck coverage. Two additional petals for umbrella-like coverage on the neck of the aneurysm.
Improved flexibility. The articulation area between the shaft and the crown allows greater movement of the crown in all directions, adapting to highly angled necks.
Improved visibility. Longer radiopaque markers along each of the petals that reach the distal end of the device, an additional marker proximal to the axis and another in the area of articulation.
