The Infinnium-Paclitaxel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxol> Eluting Coronary Stent System contains biodegradable, hemocompatible polymers as a drug delivery vehicle with therapeutic agent. The Stent is covered with drug-polymeric matrix all the way around the struts providing efficient drug release into vessel wall. The unique design and strut locking mechanism offers excellent radial strength and minimum recoil even with thinner strut. Smooth surface, round edges and thin struts of stent minimizes vessel injury and obliging in reduces thrombus formation incidence. It uniforms drug and biodegradable polymers multilayer coating on stent surface. Coating integrity maintained on stent crimping and expansion. The drug-polymers coating thickness is 5-7µm. Flexible Tip to improve Guidewire trackability and to minimize vessel wall trauma. It is an alternate dual connecting link for sufficient longitudinal flexibility & vessel conformability. It is low crossing profile for lesion crossability. Straight link ensure nearly zero foreshortening with relative low stress concentration in the longitudinal direction. Serpentine strut allows homogeneous stress distribution upon expansion.
