OrbusNeich Announces Availability of Azuleâ„¢ Cobalt Chromium Stent

March 14, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

HONG KONG, March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — OrbusNeich today
announced the launch of the CE marked Azule Cobalt Chromium Stent.
 The Azule Stent combines the proven stent design of its
predecessor, the company’s Blazer™ Cobalt Chromium Stent,
with a delivery system with enhanced crossability and flexible
deliverability.

Azule features OrbusNeich’s unique Dual Helix stent design,
offering conformability and radial strength on thin, flexible and
low-profile cobalt chromium stent struts.  The stent’s tip
length has been reduced from 5 mm to 4.25 mm, improving
deliverability and crossability.  The precise laser forming of
the tip results in a lower lesion entry profile, and the controlled
laser welding of the balloon to the catheter improves the stent’s
trackability and flexibility.

“Continuous technology advancement is mandated by our customers
and the very nature of interventional cardiology,” said Al Novak,
OrbusNeich’s Chairman and CEO.  “We believe the underlying
deliverability of a stent is, and will continue to be, a critically
important factor that we strive to improve.”
