REVA Medical enrolling patients for FANTOM bioresorbable scaffolds


(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors)

REVA Medical (ASX:RVA) is now enrolling Australian patients into the clinical trial for its FANTOM bioresorbable scaffolds for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

This is in addition to previously announced sites in Brazil and Europe.

The FANTOM II trial is enrolling patients to support a European CE Mark application which is expected to occur by mid-2016.   

The scaffold made from REVA’s advanced proprietary polymer is designed to allow the restoration of blood flow in patients being treated for coronary artery disease then resorb from the body over time.   

It was developed as an alternative to metal stents which are small tube-like devices permanently implanted into an artery to treat coronary artery disease.
