Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DIOR® Drug-Eluting PTCA Balloon Technology is specifically designed for coronary interventions. It features a unique coating that enhances its effectiveness in treating coronary artery diseases.

Coating Characteristics
The DIOR® balloon uses a shellac-based coating combined with paclitaxel. Shellac is a natural resin known for its film-forming properties, ensuring the drug remains on the balloon surface until deployment. Paclitaxel inhibits cell replication, specifically targeting smooth muscle cells without affecting non-proliferating cells. The amorphous coating protects the drug from mechanical abrasion and early wash-off, maintaining low paclitaxel blood plasma concentrations.

Mechanism of Action
Upon inflation, the balloon releases paclitaxel into the arterial wall, preventing restenosis and promoting smooth re-endothelialization. The hydrophilic shellac matrix swells in contact with body fluids, facilitating rapid drug release.

Preclinical Program
Studies on porcine coronary arteries demonstrated that DIOR® balloons significantly increase lumen area and reduce neointima area compared to uncoated balloons. The balloons maintain high paclitaxel concentrations in the arterial wall, crucial for inhibiting neointimal proliferation.

Clinical Program
Several trials, including the Valentines Trial and Spanish Registry, have shown the safety and efficacy of DIOR® balloons in treating in-stent restenosis, small vessel disease, bifurcation lesions, and de novo lesions. These studies report low major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates and demonstrate the balloon's effectiveness in various coronary conditions.

Technical Specifications
The DIOR® balloon is available in various diameters (2.0 to 4.0 mm) and lengths (15 to 30 mm). It features a rapid exchange design, hydrophilic shaft coating, and a semi-compliant balloon material. The recommended inflation time is 45 seconds, with a nominal pressure of 6 bar and rated burst pressures varying by size.

Conclusion
The DIOR® Drug-Eluting PTCA Balloon Technology offers a safe and effective solution for coronary interventions, with its innovative coating and targeted drug delivery system providing significant clinical benefits.

DIOR® – DRUG-ELUTING PTCA BALLOON TECHNOLOGY SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CORONARY INTERVENTIONS DIOR® – COATING CHARACTERISTICS Paclitaxel Paclitaxel is an active ingredient that inhibits the cell replication; thus blocking the microtubules decomposition during the metaphase and anaphase stages of mitosis. Shellac is a natural resin composed of shellolic and alleuritic acid. The excellent film forming properties of shellac are used to coat pharmaceutical products and in the food industry. By selectively inhibiting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, paclitaxel does not influence non-proliferating...
