FDA has granted Cook Medical a breakthrough device designation for its new drug-eluting stent for below the knee (BTK) use. The new stent is designed to treat patients suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia. “This new product leverages our deep understanding of stent design and drug elution for lower limb anatomies, and it complements our dedicated portfolio of BTK products for limb preservation,” the company says.
