The innovative hybrid Cobalt-Chromium Abluminal Biodegradable Polymer DES
BioMatrix Alpha™ presents the best in class stent platform design with unique pro-healing coating from the pioneer in abluminal biodegradable technology3.
It combines the proven safety of a DES with an abluminal biodeg radable polymer, the proven efficacy of BA9™ and an innovative cobalt-chromium stent platform design4.
No drug carrier or drug inside the stent
> Early BMS-like endothelial coverage6
> More targeted drug release
> Reduced systemic exposure
BA9™ Designed Specifically for Coronary Stent Application
> Unique drug and proprietary of Biosensors International Group, Ltd.
> Designed for properties that would support healing and re-endothelialization
> Chemical characteristics allow:
- a rapid transfer to the vessel wall, in the absence of a polymer or carrier
- with no loss to the systemic system.
Alpha by Design best in class performance vs other stents9
