Axios: Stent and electrocautery enhanced delivery system

The Axios stent and electrocautery enhanced delivery system is designed to offer therapeutic endoscopists to safely and accurately access a pancreatic fluid collection from the gastrointestinal tract to place an Axios stent. The system uses a cautery-enabled access catheter with the therapeutic Axios stent for an exchange-free procedure.

The Axios catheter is energized and deployed through tissue walls and into target structures under EUS guidance. The catheter sheath is retracted which allows the stent to be deployed. Then, the delivery system is withdrawn.
