Abbott has announced it has received FDA approval for a new vascular balloon-expandable stent system for the treatment of iliac artery disease, according to a news release.
The Omnilink Elite system is the latest addition to Abbott's U.S. portfolio of endovascular products for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. The Omnilink Elite stent is based on the MULTI-LINK stent design with a cobalt chromium alloy, according to the company.
"Abbott is dedicated to improving the lives of patients with PAD by providing physicians with the most innovative therapies for treatment of this debilitating disease," said Charles A. Simonton, MD, FACC, FSCAI, divisional vice president, medical affairs, and chief medical officer, Abbott Vascular, in the release. "The approval of Omnilink Elite and the recent FDA approval of Absolute Pro [vascular self-expanding stent system] add to Abbott's already robust portfolio of advanced endovascular products for the treatment of PAD."
Abbott is headquartered in Chicago.
