Dexamet™
Coronary Stents with PC Technology™
Pre-loaded with Dexamethasone
Because Dexamethasone allows you to target the first stage of the restenosis process, inflammation, Dexamet stents are a natural choice for improving clinical outcomes.
 
     
  Dexamet Coronary Stents with PC Technology Pre-loaded with Dexamethasone  
  Restenosis is a complex process. While the mechanisms may not be fully understood, stent implantation may cause endothelial damage and initiate the restenosis matrix - inflamation, proliferation, migration, and bealing - ultimately resulting in the re-narrowing of a treated artery. Achieving a world first, Abbott Vascular Devices has loaded the well-known anti-inflammatory drug, Dexamethasone, into its PC - coated stents.  
 
 
   
     
 
 
 targeted release
  and site-specific delivery
 
PC Technology is applied in a grater amount on the outer surface of the stent's struts. This creates a reservoir that delivers Dexamethasone directly to the arterial wall, minimizing systemic loss of the drug. Dexamethasone is loaded in a precise concentration into the PC-coated stent,
remaining there until the stent is delivered to the target lesion.
Dexamethasone's structure, combined with PC Technology, enables the drug to elute into the vessel wall during the inflammation phase, decreasing the number and activity of inflammatory cells.
After drug delivery, the PC Technology remains biologically inert, allowing the stent to be fully endothelialized.
