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.

    Product Highlights

    Clinically Proven

    Safe and effective in the treatment of lower limb

    arteries2⸴3

    For Challenging Patient Groups

    Excellent results despite a complex population at

    baseline4

    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.
