TFX: Teleflex Initiates Enrollment in Global BIOMAG-III Pivotal Trial of Freesolve Resorbable

Magnesium Scaffold (6/23). Teleflex announced the beginning of enrollment in the BIOMAG-III

Study, a landmark global pivotal trial evaluating the Freesolve Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold

(RMS). The first U.S. patient was implanted at MedStar Health in Washington, D.C. The study

will enroll 1,859 patients across up to 120 sites worldwide (including up to 60 in the U.S.) and

will compare Freesolve RMS to Xience Drug-Eluting Stent with respect to Target Lesion Failure

rate at 12 months. Additionally, enrollment completed ahead of schedule for BIOMAG-II (1,861

patients across 20 countries), and positive four-year BIOMAG-I data showed 3.5% TLF with no

new clinical events between two and four years. Freesolve RMS is engineered to resorb within
