Dow Jones Description

We develop, manufacture, market and sell innovative treatments for aortic disorders. Our principle product, the Powerlink ® System is a minimally invasive device for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery of the body. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and if left untreated becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAAs is approximately 75%, making it a leading cause of death in the United States today. The Powerlink System is a catheter and endoluminal stent graft, or ELG, system. The device consists of a self-expanding cobalt chromium alloy stent cage covered by ePTFE, a common surgical graft material. The Powerlink ELG is implanted in the abdominal aorta, which is accessed through the femoral artery. Once the Powerlink ELG is deployed into its proper position, blood flow is shunted away from the weakened or aneurismal section of the aorta, reducing pressure and the potential for the aorta to rupture. Our clinical trials demonstrated that implantation of our products reduces the mortality and morbidity rates associated with conventional AAA surgery, as well as provides a clinical alternative for many patients who could not undergo conventional surgery. Sale of our Powerlink System in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Latin America is the primary source of our reported revenues.
