| Item | TAXUS Express2 Monorail Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System |
| Features | A Proven Stent
The Express Stent platform offers excellent deliverability and conformability.
Excellent deliverability allows for treatment of a variety of patient and lesion types.
Excellent conformability allows the stent to mold to the natural contours of the vessel wall.
Broad working range facilitates precise deployment and sizing flexibility, making it easy to achieve full stent apposition.
A Reliable Polymer
The TAXUS stent uses Translute Polymer, a proprietary polymer carrier technology, to control drug release.
he durable Translute Polymer protects the drug and maintains coating integrity during preparation, delivery, and stent expansion.
The polymer controls the release of paclitaxel, which may allow for consistent drug release and more uniform drug distribution.
An Effective Drug
The unique properties of paclitaxel may contribute to the efficacy of the TAXUS Stent.
Paclitaxel's multi-functional effects, stabilize microtubules and inhibit activities that contribute to restenosis.
Paclitaxel is highly lipophilic, which may contribute to more uniform drug distribution.
