The ARCHIMEDES stent is a Biodegradable Biliary and Pancreatic stent intended to be used to drain obstructed biliary or pancreatic ducts. The patented Dual Drainage Design Helical of the stent allows for bile to flow on the outer surface of the device while supporting the opening of the lumen.

Developed and designed to be placed endoscopically, percutaneously, or surgically, either open or laparscopic surgery, the ARCHIMEDES provides a flexible and innovative solution that can help reduce complications and the costs associated with them by removing the need for unnecessary additional clinical interventions.

Enhanced features

‣ Different degradation profiles to cover a variety of malignant and benign underlying diseases.
‣ Sinusoidal helical-channel design to allow bile to flow on the outside of the stent.
‣ Mitigation of stent occlusion due to the degradation process of the stent materials.
‣ Better simulated flow rates than tested plastic stent predicates.
‣ Better simulated migration resistance than tested plastic stent predicates.
‣ Equivalent crush resistance to tested plastic stent predicates.

Degradation Profiles

* The different degradation profiles are designed for obstructed biliary or pancreatic ducts with various underlying diseases.
** Minimal Strength Retention is defined by the presence of at least 10% of an initial strength parameter. The Stent remains intact with no breaks, tested in a simulated degradation model.
