‘The drug coating in multiple layers with the use of biodegradable layers for the Supralimus and Supralimus Core stent is designed to deliver the drug in a biphasic manner: an initial burst dose, followed by a controlled release of the drug which will likely reduce late adverse clinical events compared to stents with non-biodegradable polymer’ said Dr. Atul Abhyankar, Medical Director of SMT and a renowned cardiologist. “In the early days of evolution of drug eluting stents SMT had the foresight about the safety of biodegradable polymers and was the first to pioneer the utilization of biodegradable polymer on all of its type of drug -eluting stents ” he added. Dr. Pedro Lemos MD, Ph.D, from InCor Institute, University of São Paulo Medical School shared his own experience “I have been using the Supralimus stent for more than 5 years now, with an accumulated clinical experience that sums hundreds of patients. In addition, we have run a randomized trial that evaluated the short and long-term outcomes of patients treated with that stent. Both in daily practice as well as in the context of a clinical study, the Supralimus presented a very good clinical performance”. SMT offers Stainless Steel and Cobalt Chromium bare metal stents, Paclitaxel eluting Stainless Steel stent and Sirolimus eluting Stainless Steel and Cobalt Chromium stents. The wide range of sizes of both Supralimus® and Supralimus-Core® from 8 mm to 40 mm with one of lowest strut thickness of CE approved chromium-cobalt and stainless steel stents.
Indications (Supralimus)
Supralimus® Sirolimus eluting coronary stent system is indicated for use in-patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to coronary artery lesions with a reference vessel diameter ranging from 2.25 mm to 4.00 mm and is intended to improve coronary luminal diameter.
Indications (Supralimus-Core)
Supralimus-Core™ Sirolimus eluting coronary stent system is indicated for use in-patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to coronary artery lesions with a reference vessel diameter ranging from 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm and is intended to improve coronary luminal diameter.
