The Express² stent system is also an example of our commitment to parallel product development. We continued to work on improving our stent system and, as a result, the original Express™ stent was combined with advanced Maverick^® balloon catheter technology. This allowed us to add superior flexibility and trackability to the original Express stent system.

In a short period of time, the Express² stent system has been recognized as one of the most competitive stents on the market. We have achieved this by differentiating our stent technology with the unique Tandem Architecture™ stent design, which integrates short, thin Micro™ elements designed for flexibility and conformability, with long, wide Macro™ elements, which enhance radiopacity. The great conformability improves the Express² stent system’s capability to conform to a bend in the lumen. The result is uniform vessel coverage and radial strength – features that result in enhanced clinical performance and better clinical outcomes for patients.
