(Nasdaq: NSPR), developer of the CGuard® Prime carotid stent system for the prevention of stroke, today announced the company has received CE Mark approval under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) for the CGuard® Prime EPS. CGuard® Prime was developed incorporating extensive user feedback and optimizes deliverability and deployment of the proven CGuard stent.

Additionally, this is the same platform that we intend to launch in the United States later this year, subject to FDA approval, enabling greater scale as we move towards offering a unified platform across our served markets.” About CGuardThe CGuard Embolic Prevention System (EPS) is a novel mesh-covered carotid stent designed to widen narrowed carotid arteries in patients who are at high risk for complications from surgery and need a less invasive treatment and to improve patient safety through sustained embolic protection.
