TiN coated coronary stent system

Intended end use : The Cobalt-Chromium-Nickel-Tungsten alloy L605 based, Titanium Nitride coated “bare metal” coronary stent system is indicated for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with native coronary lesion length < 50 mm, and reference vessel diameter (D Ref Vessel) ranging from 2.0 mm < D Ref Vessel < 4.50 mm.

Product description : The Chitra coronary stent consists of the following components:
1. L605 based Metal Stent platform
2. Titanium Nitride Ceramic coating

Novelty(please specify patents if any filed) : Patent granted, 357096 dated 29/01/2021
