LifeStent 5F 5/170/1350 Vascular Stent – C. R. Bard

The LifeStent 5F 5/170/1350 Vascular Stent by C. R. Bard is a self-expanding nitinol vascular stent system designed for endovascular treatment of selected peripheral arterial lesions. It is used by qualified vascular specialists and interventional radiologists to help maintain vessel patency following treatment of narrowed or obstructed arteries.

The LifeStent system is designed to provide mechanical support to the vessel wall while accommodating movement associated with peripheral arteries. Its self-expanding nitinol construction allows the stent to expand to its intended diameter after deployment, providing outward radial support to the treated vessel.

The product designation 5/170/1350 is commonly interpreted as a nominal stent diameter of 5mm, stent length of 170mm, and delivery catheter working length of 135cm (1350mm). These dimensions should be confirmed against the exact manufacturer's product reference and packaging before clinical use.

The 5F designation refers to the delivery system profile, making it suitable for procedures where a compatible 5 French delivery system is required.

LifeStent is intended for use in appropriately selected peripheral vascular interventions, particularly in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery, subject to the indications specified in the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Its flexible nitinol framework is designed to accommodate bending and movement in peripheral vessels while maintaining the structural support required to help preserve blood flow.

The stent is delivered through a catheter-based system and deployed at the target lesion under appropriate imaging guidance. Once released, the self-expanding stent conforms to the vessel anatomy and provides a supportive scaffold.

The LifeStent 5F 5/170/1350 Vascular Stent is intended for specialized use in vascular surgery departments, interventional radiology units, catheterization laboratories, and hospitals equipped for peripheral endovascular procedures.
