Polymer-Free Paclitaxel Delivery:
Zilver PTX's drug therapy prevents cell proliferation for the life of the cell—while eliminating the risk associated with polymers.
- PTX is hydrophobic, so wash-off is minimal.
- Because PTX is also lipophilic, it attaches to the lipids in the vessel wall.
- Angioplasty can cause vessel trauma that leads to cell division and restenosis. PTX is antiproliferative, blocking this cell division to maintain patency.
