Driver Coronary Stent System

Track, Cross, and Deliverability With Driver Technology

Excellent Trackability and Crossability†

Driver Tip 0.40 mm (0.019")*

Proven Driver Stent

Smooth delivery, direct stenting and ultrathin, round stent struts built from an advanced cobalt alloy that is stronger and denser than stainless steel.

• More than 2 million Driver stents sold*

Unique Modular Design

Driver Stent Optimizes Vessel Support

Detail	Ultrathin, round, edgeless struts for smooth delivery Excellent radial strength* High conformability* Short 1.0 mm elements†
Detail	Small 1.0 mm2 cell area* provides vessel support
Detail	Thin struts Short elements Modular design Custom laser-fusion patterns allow for high stent flexibility*

Triple Helix Laser-Fusion Pattern

Detail

Driver stent's modular elements are joined together in proprietary laser-fusion patterns‡

† Applies to 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 mm stents.
‡ Triple helix fusion pattern used for all 4.0 mm and 3.5 mm x 9 mm stents.

Cobalt Alloy

• Stronger than stainless steel – for thinner struts and lower profile*
• Denser than stainless steel – for thinner struts without compromising radiopacity*
• Proven implant material – more fatigue and corrosion-resistant than stainless steel*
• Non-ferromagnetic – more MRI-compatible than stainless steel*
