Vicente Riambau (Barcelona, Spain) describes the unique features and improvements of the iCover balloon expandable covered stent, notably its low profile, radiopaque markers, and total encapsulation with polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which give the device an edge over its competitors and make it his “first choice.”
Riambau also reflects on how iVascular’s vertical integration, by which the company manufactures all product components such as plastic tubes, balloons and stents, allows freedom from supply chain difficulties. This is important, he says, to maintain high quality for every single step during the manufacture of key parts.
