Esprit™ BTK

Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold

Esprit BTK
LIFE-BTK Study

Pioneering a new standard of care for BTK treatment.

The Esprit™ BTK System is a breakthrough innovation, pioneering a new standard of care by delivering superior efficacy***, without the drawbacks of traditional therapies2

How It Works

Watch how the Esprit™ BTK System can treat BTK (below-the-knee) lesions using a bioresorbable scaffold that addresses vessel recoil and dissection1, combined with a drug that inhibits neointimal hyperplasia8, and then fully resorbs over time6, preserving future treatment options.

Superior Results, Without Compromising Safety

  • Superior efficacy vs balloon angioplasty (74.5% vs 43.7%), demonstrating a 30.8% improvement in limb salvage and primary patency at 1 year2
  • Demonstrated to be as safe as PTA† in the landmark LIFE-BTK randomized controlled trial2
     

Proven Durability & Performance

  • Proven durability in CLTI patients, with a low target lesion reintervention rate* of 6.5% at 1 year1
  • Demonstrated reduction in disease progression for CLTI patients vs balloon angioplasty, with consistent performance (limb salvage and primary patency) across a range of lesion lengths up to 148mm5,**
     

Designed for Today and the Future

  • Designed to address vessel recoil and dissection1, with radial strength similar to a metallic stent within the first 6 months7
  • Sustained everolimus elution to inhibit restenosis and maximize patency8
  • Completely resorbable scaffold offering flexibility for the future6
     

This device is commercially available for use in select international markets. Check the regulatory status in your geography.
