TriVascular Technologies, Inc. Announces FDA Approval of Ovation iX(TM) Iliac Stent Graft
Enhancements to Iliac Stent Graft Technology Are Designed to Improve Ease of Use and Expand Patient Applicability
SANTA ROSA, Calif., June 15, 2015 -- TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (TRIV) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Ovation iX Iliac Stent Graft for the Ovation Prime(R) Abdominal Stent Graft System, together with manufacturing enhancements that will facilitate a broader commercial launch of the product. Building upon the strength of the Ovation(R) and Ovation Prime iliac technology, the Ovation iX iliac stent graft is engineered to promote patency even in hostile anatomy. Ovation iX stands for integrated exchange, and the iliac stent graft was developed to improve physician ease of use and expand patient applicability. The less invasive, low-profile (10-13F) integrated sheath is designed to minimize vessel trauma. With flared limbs up to 28mm diameter and limb lengths up to 160mm, the broader size matrix and even lower profiles enable treatment of a wider range of AAA anatomies.
