BIOTRONIK is releasing the Orsiro, the world’s first hybrid drug-eluting stent, in the French market. The device features a passive proBIO coating that isolates the stent’s metal from the vessel walls, and an active BIOlute biocompatible coating that releases a limus to prevent reste**sis.

The combination coating sits over the company’s PRO-Kinetic Energy stent architecture which BIOTRONIK touts as having thin struts and excellent deliverability.

“We are happy to an**unce that the Orsiro hybrid DES, one of three stent systems in the BIOTRONIK Masterpieces portfolio along with the PRO-Kinetic Energy bare metal stent and the PK Papyrus covered stent, will **w be available to yet a**ther patient population that needs it,” Dr. Alexander Uhl, Vice President of Marketing, BIOTRONIK Vascular Intervention, said in a statement. “Physicians rely on top performing tools for each and every procedure. We see the launch of Orsiro in France as a crucial step towards giving an even greater number of physicians worldwide the chance to work with a tool that we consider a Masterpiece.”
