What is TransPax™
The TransPax coating is a proprietary formulation of Paclitaxel and a citrate ester excipient (acetyl tributyl citrate – ATBC). It leverages Boston Scientific’s history and expertise with paclitaxel and drug coating.
Boston Scientific’s TransPax™ is the coating on both IC and PI Drug-coated balloons (DCB). Ranger™ Paclitaxel-Coated PTA Balloon Catheter is Boston Scientific's DCB for Peripheral Interventions.
