Passeo®-18 Lux®

Clinically proven results in challenging patient groups

The Passeo-18 Lux Drug-Coated Balloon is indicated to dilate de novo or restenotic lesions in the infrainguinal arteries* through a low profile** balloon platform. Its technologies allow an effective drug delivery1: The SafeGuard® Insertion Aid reduces drug loss in the introducer sheath up to 94% and protects user and balloon from contact and damage, while the Lux® Coating (Paclitaxel and BTHC) optimizes drug transfer and ensures high drug retention at the lesion site.

Effective Drug Delivery

Reduction of drug loss with SafeGuard® Insertion Aid1

Clinically Proven

Randomized controlled trials and all-comers registries have investigated safety and efficacy in the treatment of over 1,900 patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arteries.

BIOLUX P-I RCT² Femoropopliteal Indication¹⁰

Significantly reduced Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) at 12 months compared

to the control PTA* balloon in the as-treated population²

BIOLUX P-II RCT³ Infrapopliteal Indication

Major Adverse Events (MAE) rate of the Passeo-18 Lux DCB was lower compared to

the control PTA balloon.

BIOLUX P-III⁴ All-Comers Registry

Passeo-18 Lux DCB demonstrates excellent outcomes in one of the largest real-world DCB registries with few exclusion criteria.

For challenging patient groups

Safety and efficacy clinically proven across challenging subgroups in BIOLUX P-III all-comers registry.

Effective Drug Delivery

Effective drug delivery to the lesion with SafeGuard® insertion aid and the hydrophobic BTHC excipient as part of the Lux® Coating.

Reduction of drug loss in the introducer sheath valve⁴

The SafeGuard® insertion aid improves ease of handling and protects the user and the Lux® Coating on the balloon from contact and damage.

High drug retention¹

BIOTRONIK's Lux® coating provides a hydrophobic BTHC excipient, which is less soluble than hydrophilic alternatives, ensuring more drug is available at the lesion site.
