CASPER™Product Code (REF): CPR-0825-143RX

CASPER™ is a dual-layer carotid artery stent that addresses the most critical limitation of conventional single-layer carotid stents: the risk of embolic plaque debris release during and after deployment. CASPER pairs a standard outer nitinol stent scaffold — providing the radial force needed to stabilize the lesion and maintain vessel patency — with an inner micromesh layer of high-density nitinol. The inner mesh creates a fine-mesh liner inside the stent that acts as a physical barrier to plaque prolapse through the stent struts, reducing the rate of post-deployment debris release that has been associated with procedural stroke in carotid artery stenting. The dual-layer design gives CASPER a distinct advantage in patients with vulnerable, lipid-rich, or heavily calcified plaque where the risk of periprocedural embolization is highest — the same patients who are highest-risk candidates for carotid endarterectomy. Clinical data from the CRISTAL trial demonstrate that CASPER achieves low procedural stroke rates consistent with its embolic-protective mechanism. CASPER is available in diameters from 5 mm to 10 mm and dual-layer lengths from 16 mm to 40 mm, with a standard 0.014 in rapid-exchange delivery system. The overall implanted length is longer than the dual-layer segment to accommodate the transition zones at each end.
