About us
NEW innovation improves patient’s comfort and reduces procedure cost significantlyBlue Medical announces a major step forward in its quest to improve the quality of life of patients with
cardiovascular disease, with the start of the PIONEER trial in which a new safe concept of stent-drug
combination is evaluated. Press release
PIONEER, as part of a Blue Medical’s clinical program, is the trial that enables for the first time the delivery
of a coronary stent that is mounted on a Drug Eluting Balloon, Pioneer and the evaluation of
the Drug Eluting Balloon Protégé. On placement of the stent and inflation of the balloon a predetermined
load of Paclitaxel is delivered to the vessel wall, through the proprietary innovative DEB technology
of Blue Medical.
The Pioneer and Protégé product does not deliver drug constantly for a long period of time,
as the drug eluting stents do, but a single delivery on inflation / stent placement only and therefore
no long time medication required. The patient’s benefit in comfort is self-evident and in addition
the total procedure cost is significantly reduced due to the absence of long term medication.
