    Description<3-nm PC polymer covalently bonded to stent braids50-nm titanium oxide and titanium oxynitride surface finishingCovalent bonding of the proprietary pHPC to the stent braids
    Proposed mechanismPC is a constituent of the red cell membranes, thus reduces platelet adhesion and activationReduces friction during delivery and expansion, thus reducing thrombogenicityMimics glycocalyx on the vessel wall to inhibit platelet plug formation
