The new iteration builds on this success with an optimized delivery system, integrated branch structure, and proximal segment free design.

Global Market Expansion
Since its initial approval, the Castor branch stent has gained marketing approval in the European Union, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The updated Cratos system is poised to further expand the company’s presence in global markets, offering enhanced features and improved surgical options for thoracic aortic dissection.
