Both products are being immediately made available to Eurocor’s global distributors who sense great potential in selling leading treatment options in emerging market economies such as those in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
eMagic is an uncoated stent on a cobalt chromium base and eFlex is an uncoated stent on a stainless steel base. Both have been certified for their quality standards and are being launched by Eurocor as a diversified addition to its present portfolio of stenting products.
