Boston Scientific Epic Biliary Endoscopic Stent System M00572290
The Boston Scientific Epic Biliary Endoscopic Stent System is a single-use, laser-cut self-expanding metal stent designed to palliate malignant biliary strictures. It has an 8 mm diameter and 80 mm stent length, delivered via a low-profile 6 Fr catheter compatible with 0.035″ guidewires. The 220 cm delivery catheter includes tantalum radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic placement.
Engineered to minimize foreshortening, the Epic stent enables accurate positioning, reducing the need for additional overlapping stents. Its laser-cut Nitinol design ensures flexibility to traverse tight strictures while resisting kinking—even after deployment. The delivery system features a thumb-wheel mechanism with tactile and audible feedback (or optional pull-grip) for controlled release. At a 220 cm catheter length, it’s compatible with ERCP and enteroscopy-assisted techniques and is MRI-conditional at 1.5 T/3 T under specified conditions.
