Teleflex Wins FDA Breakthrough Designation For Temporary Coronary Vessel Support

Teleflex (TFX) received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for its Freesolve Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold, a device for percutaneous coronary intervention. The scaffold, using proprietary magnesium alloy, is resorbed within 12 months, reducing the need for permanent implants. The company reported a 3.5% target lesion failure rate at four years in clinical trials. The designation may support a future U.S. Premarket Approval application. TFX closed at $130.40, down 0.57%.
