Rapamycin-Eluting Coronary CoCr Stent System
The FIREBIRD2™ Rapamycin-Eluting CoCr Coronary Stent is the second generation DES of MicroPort, which based on the new cobalt chromium alloy stent platform. It uses polyolefin polymer, which makes the coating property very remarkable.

Strut thickness: 0.0034"
Excellent Flexibility and Conformability
Strong radial strength
Crossing profile: 0.039"
Metal Coverage Area 11.6%-13.7%
MRI compatible
Stent design: Sinuous waves balance flexibility and radial strength; Open cell Design offers easy access to side branches
Semi-compliance balloon
FIREBIRD2™ vs FIREBIRD™
34% increase in flexibility
15% increase in supporting strength
Better fatigue and corrosion resistant performance than stainless steel
Stronger and better radiopacity with lower strut thickness
Drug release rate at 30-Day: over 80%
Late lumen loss is low to 0.05mm (in-stent), binary restenosis rate is 1.3% (in-segment), and volume obstruction is extremely low to 1.26% at 6 months.
