Edge injuries are caused by both stent edge flaring during expansion & balloon "Dog Bonning" . Convential stent designs expand as "Edge First Expansion" resulting in injury at the edges. The stent balloon mismatch also causes injury at the edges due to "Dog Bonning" effect. genX^TM incorporates wide closed cells at the stent edges that will minimize edge flaring & knife edge focal injury during expansion. Also the stent & balloon is precisely matched to minimize "Don Bonning" effect.

Generally during stent expansion, due to the intra cellular balloon protrusion, the expansion energy from the balloon is transferred to the arterial wall causing injuries. This is cell size & shape dependent. genX^TM has optimum cell size & shape to minimize injuries.

genX^TM has thin struts to minimize focal mechanical injury to the vessel wall.

During the stent expansion, artery experiences extreme strain. Greater the strain greater is injury. genX^TM is designed to minimize arterial strain due to stent-artery compliance mismatch.

genX^TM tends to recoil less than 2% when fully expanded, whereby offering superior acute gain & more vessel area, thanks to the 10-cell design.

The longitudinal "X" link connection between the cells with lower strut thickness offers lower crossing profile & multi axial high flexiblility while negotiating complex anatomies. Vessels do not tend to straighten after the stent expansion.
