The Ideal™ BioStent is the only stent to offer a dual-drug polymer, incorporating salicylate, the active component in aspirin, directly into the polymer chain. As the polymer degrades, salicylate is released directly into the vessel wall to provide anti-inflammatory therapy aimed at reducing stenosis and the promotion of blood vessel healing.

The Ideal™ BioStent also incorporates the drug Sirolimus (rapamycin) in its polymer matrix to provide anti-restenotic therapy similar to today's commonly used drug-eluting metal stents. The Ideal™ BioStent's technology allows for the ability to layer different combinations of polymers and drugs, enabling the optimization of the delivery of combination drug therapies to provide superior clinical results. The Ideal™ BioStent represents a significant advance over currently available stents, including:
-The ability to promote positive vessel remodeling.
-A significant reduction in late-stent thrombosis risk.
-No metal artifact remaining in the patient's body after vessel healing.
-The reduced need for long-term and costly anti-platelet therapy
