ZENFluxion™ DCB is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) of stenosis or occlusion lesions in iliac, femoral or popliteal arteries. It contains 3 different series respectively compatible with the guidewires 0.014”, 0.018”, 0.035”. The ZENFLEX Pro™ DES is indicated for improving luminal diameter in the treatment of de novo or re-stenotic symptomatic lesion(s) in native vascular disease of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal arteries. Both of the balloon and the stent are coated with the antiproliferative drug paclitaxel on its outer surface to help prevent the arteries from narrowing again. Zylox's proprietary drug coating technology can effectively control paclitaxel crystallization and obtain a uniform and stable coating layer on the device surface. The dense and integrated paclitaxel microcrystal layer can prevent the early drug flaking during the preparation and handling of the device and maximizes drug transfer efficiency to the vessel wall.

According to Caradu, Caroline et al., (2019)¹, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects more than 200 million people worldwide, most of them over age 50. The drug-coated balloons market by revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% during the period 2019-2025，The market is growing significantly due to the surge in incidence/prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, especially peripheral artery and coronary artery diseases across the globe². Based on this, Zylox Medical is expecting to develop more advanced technology and provide high-quality products to healthcare consumers and providers around the world.

In addition, Zylox's DCB also has obtained National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval on November 10 (2020), which enables Zylox Medical to offer more products and services in Chinese market.
