FRED™ X
The Next Advancement in Flow Diversion Technology
Product Benefits
FRED X offers the same precise, predictable placement and immediate opening of the FRED™ device – now with X Technology.
Optimized for small vessel flow diversion, FRED X is the only FDA PMA approved portfolio with a .021" delivery system for smaller device sizes, and no distal lead wire.
Derived from over 30 years of study and use at Terumo, X Technology is a nanoscale enhancement to the entire surface of the FRED device, formed with a covalent bond. Unlike other surface modifications, X Technology creates a protective hydration layer around the device that reduces platelet adhesion and simultaneously allows for endothelial cell attachment and growth.
FRED X is designed to reduce material thrombogenicity while also maintaining the natural healing response of the vessel. FRED X also features improved device delivery and resheathing.2
