Jasper® SS focuses on the fill and finish processes of the endovascular coiling procedure, and continues to improve the design to make the coil softer. A Coil Support structure is added to the distal end of the delivery system to further improve the support of the system. The product also reduces kicking during the fill and finish processes, offering a better closure of the coiling procedure.
The "China Stroke Prevention Report (2020)" points out that the detection rate of intracranial aneurysms in the Chinese population is as high as 7%, and is increasing year by year. It is estimated that the number of intracranial aneurysm cases in China will increase to 54.9 million in 2025. Compared with European and American populations, intracranial aneurysm patients in China generally show the characteristics of "small aneurysms and thinner arteries". Therefore, a smaller, softer, and more flexible coil embolization material is more suitable for the treatment of Chinese patients.
