Dual Helix when Design Matters
The unique Dual Helix design provides natural conformability and tremendous radial strength without compromising its extreme flexibility.
Dual Helix Design
Squared Ends
– for lesion coverage and minimal foreshortening
Dual Helix Backbone
– for flexibility, radial strength and natural conformability
Sinusoidal Rings
– for scaffolding, coverage, and support

Effective Bifurcation Stenting
when Side Branch Access Matters
The Azule Cobalt Chromium Stent cells can be expanded to up to 4.5 mm in diameter, to enable excellent side branch access for effective bifurcation stenting and for maintaining patency of side branches.
Unsurpassed Sidebranchability
Cobalt Chromium when Material Matters
Thinner stent struts are better, as long as radial force is not compromised. Thinner metal results in a lower profile, greater flexibility and reduced restenosis, while maintaining adequate radiopacity.1

Data on file
The Azule stent is made from the L605 cobalt chromium alloy, which has no molybdenum and less nickel than 316L stainless steel or MP35N cobalt chromium alloy. Some patients are allergic to both nickel and molybdenum and can develop restenosis as a result.2
