The Paladin System is designed to reduce the risk of stroke by providing extra protection during the carotid stenting procedure.

Designed to safeguard against peri-procedural stroke & long-term cognitive impairment

  • Stroke and long-term cognitive impairment associated with microembolization1-3
  • Extra protection in most critical phases, angioplasty, and post-dilatation
  • No peri-procedural strokes in 4 clinical studies7-8
INDICATIONS, SAFETY, & WARNINGS

“The Paladin System offers optimized micro-embolic protection during the most vulnerable aspects of the procedure, without additional device transitions or procedural time.”

Dr. William Gray

Size Matters: Paladin Captures What Others Miss

  • Majority of embolic particles <100 μm
  • Utilizes proprietary 40μm pore filter vs. traditional 100-280μm pore filters
  • Physician-conrolled filter adjusted to patient = better wall apposition & side branch protection
  • Captures more micro-embolic debris than traditional filters and mesh-covered stents4-6

Extra Protection without Extra Steps

  • Streamlined procedure with integrated 2-in-1 technology
  • No additional steps or catheter exchanges
  • Short landing zone
