About Biosensors International Group, Ltd.
Listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX), Biosensors develops, manufactures and markets innovative medical devices for interventional cardiology and critical care procedures. We aim to improve patients’ lives through pioneering medical technology that pushes forward the boundaries of innovation.
With the increasing use of the BioMatrix family of drug-eluting stents, we are rapidly emerging as a leader in the global coronary stent market. The recent launch of the Axxess self-expanding bifurcation drug-eluting stent and the development of the BioFreedom drug-coated stent will further reinforce our market position.
All three stents incorporate Biolimus A9 (BA9), an anti-restenotic drug developed and patented by Biosensors specifically for use with drug-eluting stents. Both the BioMatrix stent family and the Axxess stent feature a unique abluminal biodegradable polymer coating, which fully degrades into carbon dioxide and water over a six-to-nine-month period as it releases BA9. The BioMatrix stent family features workhorse stent platforms for a broad range of lesions, and the Axxess stent employs a self-expanding stent platform specifically designed for treating bifurcation lesions. BioFreedom, a completely polymerfree stent abluminally coated with BA9, is currently undergoing clinical evaluation.
