Drug coated balloon catheters & stents

Drug coated balloon catheters

Drug-coated balloon catheters (DCBs) have enabled revolutionary progress in vascular medicine and opened up new, previously unimaginable treatment options. Today, they have become standard therapies for vascular constrictions in the heart or leg arteries, for example. The use of DCB has made a significant contribution to ensuring that treated arteries remain open for longer than with conventional, uncoated balloon catheters. InnoRa uses both paclitaxel and sirolimus to coat balloon catheters.

This treatment method was invented and successfully applied for the first time by members of our team. InnoRa has developed products that are considered market leaders in their field.

Drug eluting stents

The development of drug-eluting stents (DES) also marks a milestone in the history of medical technology. As a supplementary form of treatment, stents can keep vessels open for a very long time, even mechanically if necessary. By irritating the vessel wall, they are advantageously coated with an active ingredient. The active ingredient is released via a special coating on the stent, which releases the active ingredient in a controlled manner over a certain period of time.

The development of drug-eluting stents required intensive research in order to find the optimum composition of the coating and to precisely control the release kinetics of the drug. InnoRa works with innovative polymer-free coatings - especially for special stents and special applications.

Novel balloon catheters

We are continuously working on improved balloon catheters and new concepts that can bring advantages in the treatment of vasoconstriction and other indications.

Novel stents

There is still potential for improvement in the field of stents, e.g. InnoRa is also working on absorbable temporary stents that can combine the advantages of DCBs and DES.

Im Bereich von Stents gibt es noch Verbesserungspotentiale z.B. arbeitet InnoRa auch an resorbierbaren temporären Stents, die die Vorzüge der DCBs und DES vereinen können.
