The ION Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System sets a new standard in deliverability, strength, and visibility with the innovation of Platinum Chromium (PtCr) and a new stent design. Platinum has twice the density of iron or cobalt, resulting in exceptional radiopacity characteristics. Platinum has been evenly distributed throughout the alloy, resulting in appropriate visibility. When combined with stainless steel, the overall strength of the alloy is increased, enabling thinner struts without sacraficing strength or flexibilty. In bench testing, the ION Stent demonstrated greater radial strength on a thin-strut 0.0032" stent platform. It has been shown to have 136% greater strength than Xience V (PROMUS) Stent and 73% greater strength than Endeavor Stent.
