Medtronic Receives FDA Approval for Latest Generation Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent System

Design changes include increased catheter flexibility, an innovative dual-layer balloon technology and a lower crossing profile, leading to a 16% improvement in deliverability vs. the previous generation Resolute Onyx DES. Onyx Frontier offers a broad size matrix to treat more patients and is the only 2.0 mm DES available in the United States (similar to Resolute Onyx). Further, Onyx Frontier continues to provide 4.50-5.00 mm sizes that can be expanded to 6.00 mm - specifically designed to support extra-large vessels.
