Material Matters

• The Blazer is L605 cobalt chromium, which has no molybdenum and less nickel than 316L stainless steel and MP35N cobalt chromium. Some patients are allergic to both nickel and molybdenum and can develop restenosis as a result.*

• Thinner stent stuts are better, as long as radial force is not compromised. Thinner metal results in a lower profile, greater flexibility, and reduced restenosis.**
