for aprta FROZENIX

For Aortic Arch Repair

FROZENIX was specifically designed for the Frozen Elephant Trunk technique.

With a wide range of sizes, FROZENIX provides an optimal solution for the treatment of aortic aneurysm and dissection.

The system is simple and easy, allowing for a quick implant procedure.

The delivery system is intuitive and the softness of the graft material makes suturing easy.

The unique stent design combines a balance of flexibility and radial force which provides for an optimal long term performance.

>20,000 implants globally
