Pipeline Flex with Shield Technology 5.00 mm x 18 mm | REF PED-500-18

The Medtronic Pipeline Flex with Shield Technology (REF PED-500-18) is a braided, self-expanding flow diverter intended for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This configuration is sized at 5.00 mm nominal diameter by 18 mm working length and incorporates a phosphorylcholine surface modification (Shield Technology) on the implant wires intended to reduce material thrombogenicity. The device is delivered through the Flex resheathable delivery system, which allows operator-controlled deployment, partial resheathing and repositioning prior to final detachment.

Key Features
- Braided cobalt-chromium and platinum-tungsten wire construction for radial support and fluoroscopic visibility
- Shield Technology: covalently bonded phosphorylcholine surface treatment on the implant
- Resheathable and repositionable Flex delivery system
- Nominal sizing: 5.00 mm diameter x 18 mm length
- Designed to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm sac to promote progressive occlusion
- Radiopaque markers to support placement under fluoroscopy

Clinical Applications
- Endovascular reconstruction of intracranial aneurysms within the parent vessel
- Treatment planning for large or giant wide-necked aneurysms where flow diversion is selected by the treating neurointerventionalist
- Use within parent artery diameters compatible with a 5.00 mm device per the manufacturer Instructions for Use
- Intended for use by physicians trained in interventional neuroradiology and flow-diverter implantation
