Aptus Endosystems, a medical device company developing technology for endovascular aneurysm repair, received FDA clearance for the EndoStapling System, now called the HeliF Aortic Securement System, according to a news release.
The system uses helical anchor technology to enable independent endograft fixation. It's designed to mimic the hand suturing performed during open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The system also can be used during initial EVAR procedures to enhance fixation and sealing mechanisms.
