SEGMENTED OSTIAL PROTECTION DEVICE

摘要

An intraluminal device for placement in a side-branch vessel associated with a main vessel via an ostial region. The intraluminal device includes an anchor portion (104), a cap portion (102) and an articulating module (106). The anchor portion of the device is placed in the side branch vessel and the cap portion includes multiple protruding elements which are configured to extend into the ostial region. The articulating module includes a body and connectors, configured to provide large angular shifts over short distances and to absorb a portion of force causing a linear movement of the cap portion toward the anchor portion.
