Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 16: Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT) has received regulatory approval from the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA), Central Administration of Medical Devices, for its Supraflex Cruz Sirolimus Eluting Stent System, marking the companys entry into a new market in Africa. This EDA approval gives physicians in Egypt access to the Supraflex Cruz platform and strengthens SMTs broader expansion strategy in new markets.

According to World Health Organization data, ischaemic heart disease was the leading cause of death in Egypt in 2021, underscoring the countrys substantial cardiovascular disease burden. By making SupraFlex Cruz available to Egyptian interventional cardiologists, SMT is expanding access to its clinically evaluated, coronary stent platform. This milestone also advances SMTs commitment to improving access to cardiovascular care and saving lives.

Egypt is an important addition to SMTs international footprint and strengthens our presence in Africa. Expanding access to our coronary technologies in this market advances our commitment to supporting physicians, improving cardiovascular care and saving more lives around the world, said Anil Suri, Chief Commercial Officer, at Sahajanand Medical Technologies.

At the TCT 2025, SMT reported findings from the TUXEDO-II and Multivessel TALENT trials. In TUXEDO-II, the one-year target-lesion-failure outcome for Supraflex Cruz was comparable with a contemporary, market-leading everolimus-eluting stent comparator. In Multivessel TALENT, Supraflex Cruz met the prespecified non-inferiority endpoint for the 12-month patient-oriented composite outcome when compared to an industry-standard contemporary drug-eluting control stent.

About Supraflex Cruz

Supraflex Cruz DES belongs to the Supraflex family of stents, which, through a series of clinical trials including the TALENT trial and has demonstrated safety and effectiveness comparable to the drug-eluting stents evaluated in these trials.
