Cath labs stocking drug-eluting stents (DES) usually end up carrying more than one platform — different drug coatings suit different lesion types and physician preference. Here's how our two most-stocked DES platforms actually differ.
The core difference: the drug
- BioMime is a sirolimus-eluting stent on a cobalt-chromium platform with a biodegradable polymer coating.
- Evermine50 is an everolimus-eluting stent — everolimus is a sirolimus analog with somewhat faster tissue uptake and a slightly different anti-restenotic profile.
Neither drug has a settled clinical edge across all lesion types in the literature — the choice is usually made on physician preference, deliverability, and sizing availability for the specific lesion, not drug pharmacology alone.
Platform and deliverability
| BioMime | Evermine50 | |
|---|---|---|
| Drug | Sirolimus | Everolimus |
| Platform | Cobalt-chromium | (platform per SKU — confirm on order) |
| Polymer | Biodegradable | Confirm per current catalog listing |
| Typical use case | Broad lesion range, established track record | Alternative DES option for physician/case preference |
For exact strut thickness, polymer duration, and current size matrix (diameter x length combinations in stock), request the current spec sheet with your order — cath lab stocking decisions should run off the manufacturer's current IFU, not a summary article.
Why cath labs stock both
- Sizing gaps — no single platform covers every diameter/length combination a busy cath lab needs; carrying two platforms closes gaps.
- Physician preference — interventional cardiologists often have a platform preference from training or personal case experience; stocking both avoids case-day substitution.
- Supply continuity — a single-platform lab is exposed if that specific SKU goes on backorder; a second platform is a practical hedge, not just a clinical choice.
Ordering for a cath lab
Both platforms move under our Cardiovascular division alongside Mozec PTCA balloon catheters and Myval TAVI systems — labs doing full PCI workups typically standardize balloon and stent ordering through one desk to keep case-day logistics simple.
