PK Papyrus full animation

PK Papyrus achieves greater flexibility2 and exceptional deliverability with a smaller crossing profile1 and a 5F compatible design.

Covered single stent design

With its covered single stent design, PK Papyrus achieves greater bending flexibility and a smaller crossing profile compared to the traditional sandwich design stent, allowing you to seal perforations with confidence.

Innovative polyurethane membrane

Electrostatic forces spin polyurethane fibers onto the stent surface, creating a thin and highly elastic membrane.

Low crossing profile1

5F Compatibility

For main sizes – no need for guide catheter upgrade (2.5 - 4.0 mm).

Exceptional deliverability

81% greater flexibility2
Shorter median time to deliver
