Innovating through generations. 

Together with you.

We’re celebrating some major milestones. For 25 years, Synchro has guided the way. For 40 years, Target has reshaped what's possible with its smooth and stable platform. And for 10 years, Atlas has delivered confidence through complexity. 

But the legacy goes back even further. Each of our breakthroughs stand on the shoulders of those who came before—neurosurgeons, engineers and visionaries who imagined something better and built the foundation we continue to advance.

Here’s to the next generation of innovation.

Leading. Lasting. Legacy.

NV Legacy products
Neuroform Atlas stent system -- 10 years

Celebrating 10 years of Atlas

Built on the legacy of the original Neuroform – the world's first intracranial stent – Atlas advanced coil-assisted treatment with a low-profile, self-expanding design fit for vessels as small as 2.0 mm. 10 years later, it's become a trusted tool for complex cases. The Atlas story is evidence that innovation rarely starts from scratch. It builds on vision, lessons learned and the pioneering work that redefined aneurysm care.

Synchro Guidewires -- 25 years

Celebrating 25 years of Synchro

From early models to the latest generation of Synchro, you’ve trusted our technology to meet the moment and match your precision. This milestone isn’t just about us. It’s about every patient you’ve treated, every result you’ve delivered and every standard you’ve helped raise. Here’s to 25 years, and the impact you’ve made with Synchro in your hands.

Target Detachable Coils -- 40 years

Celebrating 40 years of Target

Dr. Guido Guglielmi’s pioneering work in the 1980s, together with the contributions of Target Therapeutics and UCLA, played pivotal roles in the creation of GDC Detachable Coils – an innovation that changed the course of aneurysm treatment. Stryker's introduction of the Target Detachable Coil built on that legacy, combining engineering precision with clinical insight to set a new standard. 40 years after the start of Target Therapeutics, our legacy is still taking shape – all because of you.
