Flexible Stenting Solutions

Flexible Stenting Solutions, Inc. is a privately held medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of flexible stents built on a proprietary design platform. The company has developed a third generation self-expanding stent designed for the harsh loading conditions present in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. Our fully connected stent has coupled technology with clinical needs by providing a highly durable and fatigue resistant stent with superior radial stiffness and low chronic outward force. The key to the stent technology is the integration of helically wound struts with helical flexible coils providing a mechanism optimized for vigorous applications. The key to the delivery technology is simplicity, ease of use and placement.

Flexible Stenting Solutions received CE Mark authorization for both its FlexStent® Femoropopliteal and Biliary Self Expanding (SE) Stent Systems in January 2009. The company received 510(k) clearance for its FlexStent® Biliary Self Expanding Stent System in September 2009. This stent will provide a significant benefit to patients requiring palliation of malignant biliary strictures by relieving symptoms caused by biliary obstruction.
