Clinically Proven Even in Complex Lesions2
Strong results with no significant difference in outcomes between calcified and noncalcified lesions
24 - m FTLR 4EVER3
Positive results even for long and occluded lesions in a high risk population
12 - m FTLR TASC D4
All-comers registry shows sustained results in a real world population
24 - m FTLR BIOFLEX PEACE5 (stent only)
What is COF and why does it matter?
Chronic outward force (COF) is the force exerted on the vessel wall by a self-expanding stent to achieve its present diameter.6 Thinner struts, which have lower COF*, result in a lower risk of restenosis, reduced vessel injury and inflammation and faster endothelialization.7,8,9
Thinner struts for lower COF10
Achieve less mean restenosis with
low-COF Pulsar-18 T311
*as demonstrated in pre-clinical studies
