The conformable O-rings with CustomSeal polymer have been repositioned at the top of the endograft to enable seal below the renal arteries.

The polymer technology further facilitates active sealing in the aortic neck and the repositioning of the ring to 7mm below the top of the fabric is expected to allow treatment of challenging and complex anatomies.

It is estimated that the Ovation Alto abdominal stent graft system will be available in the US in 2019.
