Highly visible, braided self-expanding stent with BlueXide® surface technology.
The new self-expanding braided stent is characterised by an excellent opening behaviour, superior wall apposition and a very smooth surface. It is intended for use with embolization materials in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
The New Accero® Stent:
- Brilliant visibility due to enhanced radiopacity of the Platinum-Nitinol composite wire
- Excellent opening behaviour and advanced wall apposition
- BlueXide® surface finishing aims to optimize hemocompatibility
- Resheathability up to 95 % of its length
Adaptive
The stent has an excellent opening behaviour and an advanced wall apposition at the ends. Our engineers designed a dedicated radial resistive force of the stent to ensure reliable coil retention.
Easy to use
The ACCERO® Stent can be delivered through 0.0165“ – 0.017“ microcatheters and double lumen occlusion balloon guidecatheters* and can be resheated more than 95 % of its length.

Visible
Enhanced radiopacity of the Platinum-Nitinol composite wire allows the visibility of the entire contour of the stent. Three additional Platinum markers at each end plus the middle marker allow an accurate placement.
BlueXide® Surface Finishing
The Acandis® proprietary BlueXide® surface finishing aims to optimize hemocompatibility and facilitates stent delivery by:
- Corrosion protective BlueXide® surface ensures an extremely low Nickel ion release.
- High Oxygen and Nitrogen intensity of the protective Titanium Oxide/Oxynitride film reduces platelet adhesion and favours endothelialization compared to native oxide and therefore resulting in improved vessel healing.
- Smooth surface of Nitinol wires favours excellent opening behaviour and low delivery force.
