Introducing Alucent
Natural Vascular Scaffolding
®
Light fiber is illuminated and the diffused coating is photoactivated
Protein-protein covalent bonding occurs within the extracellular matrix
Balloon is inflated and the coating diffuses into the vessel wall
This vessel wall reinforcement by the covalent bonding is designed to minimize the hemodynamic stress on the vein caused by sudden exposure to arterial pressure and flow and to promote outward remodeling of the fistula vein.

Photoactivated linking of native extracellular matrix proteins designed to create natural vessel wall reinforcement and promote outward (dilatative) remodeling.
The Alucent NVS System
®
The Alucent NVS System consists of a balloon catheter, coated with a proprietary small-molecule, and an integrated light fiber.
