ZENFluxion™ DCB is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) of stenosis or occlusion lesions in iliac, femoral or popliteal arteries. It contains 3 different series respectively compatible with the guidewires 0.014”, 0.018”, 0.035”. The zenfex Pro™ DES is indicated for improving luminal diameter in the treatment of de novo or re-stenotic symptomatic lesion(s) in native vascular disease of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal arteries. Both of the balloon and the stent are coated with the antiproliferative drug paclitaxel on its outer surface to help prevent the arteries from narrowing again. Zylox's proprietary drug coating technology can effectively control paclitaxel crystallization and obtain a uniform and stable coating layer on the device surface. The dense and integrated paclitaxel microcrystal layer can prevent the early drug flaking during the preparation and handling of the device and maximizes drug transfer efficiency to the vessel wall.
