TAXUS® Liberté®
Paclitaxel-eluting Coronary Stent System




The TAXUS® Liberté® Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System is engineered specifically for consistent drug elution and impressive performance. Enhanced deliverability features allow access to the target lesion, because first you have to get there.

  • Uniform stent geometry promotes even and consistent neointimal coverage
  • Thin struts and enhanced stent delivery system improve deliverability
  • Proven performance of paclitaxel supported by the rigor of theTAXUS clinical program


Engineered for Consistent Drug Distribution


Unique Uniform Cell Geometry

  • Supports even drug delivery and distribution
  • Provides uniform vessel coverage for arterial support
  • Reduces gaps in drug concentration loaded on the stent

TAXUS Liberte Cell Geometry


Three Customized Stent Models

  • Allows for more consistent stent-to-artery coverage in varying anatomies
  • Innovative hybrid cell design for support and flexibility

TAXUS Liberte Stent Models


The TAXUS Liberté Stent's Unique Design Results in Uniform Neointimal Coverage

  • 25% more uniform neointimal coverage and improved stent apposition**
  • Consistent low levels of neointimal volume

Enhanced Design for Deliverability


Thinner Stent Struts

  • 27% thinner stent struts than the TAXUS® Express® Stent for greater flexibility and improved deliverability
  • Conformable design for improved stent apposition

Reduced Stent Profile

  • 6.1% reduction in stent profile over TAXUS® Express²® Stent System
  • Lowest tip profile (0.017")


Enhanced Stent Delivery System

  • Improved tip design for greater flexibility and smooth tip-to-balloon transitions
  • Improved trackability to navigate distal lesions
  • New five wing fold design on workhorse and large models for a tighter rewrap
