Surat | Thursday | 11th October, 2018

Summary:

If a stent cannot be placed in human body or doesn’t have a good outcome, then sirolimus balloon is used. In fact, nine of the 11 Indian companies manufacturing stents are based in Surat and Vapi. Drug is getting delivered from balloon surface, which is not a permanent implant. Overall, Indian companies have 40% share because domestic stents come 30 per cent cheaper.“We have a subsidiary in Surat where all products are manufactured. I am excited to be a part of the company whose research and innovative technologies will go a long way in saving lives of patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.”.
