Proven Polymer—PC Technology

Phosphorylocholine (PC) polymer has seven years of coronary implant experience with proven safety.*

PC Technology mimics outer layer of erythrocytes: Minimises inflammatory response for normal healing† Inhibits platelet binding, making it thromboresistant‡

*DISTINCT trial on another PC-coated stent shows subacute thrombosis rate of 0% and TVF of 8.0%. Moses JW, Aluka AO, Barbeau GR et al. Circulation, 2000; 102: Suppl. 18.
