Medical technology company Stryker has launched Surpass Evolve Flow Diverter in the US, following its approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

An aneurysm is caused by the weakening of a blood vessel part, which makes the vessel bulge and fill with blood. While brain aneurysms are considered life-threatening, aneurysms can occur in any blood vessel in the body.
The increased braid angle of the Surpass Evolve offers improved flow diversion and a flexible implant for better vessel wall contact.
Additionally, the higher mesh density of the device enables faster aneurysm occlusion for patients, the company noted.
Stryker Neurovascular division president Mark Paul said: “Surpass Evolve is our fourth PMA approval and second flow diverter approved by the FDA in the last two years.
