Acandis Gains CE Mark for Accero Stent

German devicemaker Acandis has received a CE Mark for its Accero stent, a smooth-surfaced implant for treating intracranial aneurysms that is now available for sale in Europe.

Accero is a self-expanding braided stent that is designed to exhibit reliable coil retention. It can be delivered through double lumen balloon guide catheters and 0.0165 to 0.0170” microcatheters.

The stent’s titanium oxide/oxynitride protective film is designed with high oxygen and nitrogen intensities to improve vessel healing.
