Abbott Launches XIENCE PRIME Drug Eluting Stent
Delivery system designed for greater flexibility and enhanced deliverability
Abbott has announced at the European Society of Cardiology Congress the availability of its XIENCE PRIME Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of coronary artery disease. XIENCE PRIME, which received CE Mark in June, offers a novel stent design and a delivery system designed for greater flexibility and enhanced deliverability. XIENCE PRIME is available in Europe and in select countries throughout Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Antonio Bartorelli, director of the interventional cardiology department of centro cardiologico monzino, University of Milan, said: Abbott's XIENCE PRIME is an improvement in design, deliverability and conformability, all of which can be distinctly observed during coronary stent procedures, in both everyday and complex lesions. XIENCE PRIME is designed to be easily deliverable even in complex cases and very long lesions.
XIENCE PRIME utilizes the same well-studied drug and proven biocompatible polymer as Abbott's market-leading XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System. XIENCE PRIME is based upon the well-tested design used in the MULTI-LINK VISION family of stents, which is the most widely used stent platform in the world – more than 2 million of Abbott's cobalt chromium stents have been implanted worldwide.

This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in house analysis by GBI Research’s team of industry experts. The nano-enabled drug delivery market has been a high growth market and expected to grow at a faster rate in the near future. According to a study conducted by Willi Paul, and Chandra P. Sharma, the nano-enabled drug delivery market was $1.7 billion in 2009 and expected to reach over $4.8 billion in 2012. The market will witness increased competition, high investment from venture capitalist and government. The M&A and Licensing landscape will see significant changes in the coming future. This is because market is expected to become more lucrative in coming future. The major drivers for the market growth are Increasing acceptance of nano-enabled drugs, and a strong pipeline portfolio. The increasing governmental funding and R&D interest will strengthen the market in future. However, lack of consistent policy on technology transfer, poor R&D facility, and tight audit control and lack of centralized system will restrain the market growth. The nano-enabled drug delivery market has strong pipeline. The pipeline is primarily dominated by molecules in early stage of development. This suggests that the there is high level of R&D investment. This will support the future market and will fuel the licensing activity. Reports Buy online from $3500
