Conor Medsystems, LLC, founded in 1999, is a developer of innovative controlled vascular drug delivery technology, called Reservoir (RES) Technology. Conor has initially focused on the development of drug-eluting stents to treat coronary artery disease. Most drug-eluting stents currently available are multipurpose bare-metal stents that have been surface coated with polymer. Stents developed with RES Technology will not need to be surface coated. Rather each stent has hundreds of small holes – reservoirs – in the stent struts, loaded with a bioresorbable drug-polymer matrix. This matrix is designed to deliver drug in a variety of release kinetics. Over time, the drug-polymer matrix is resorbed with no polymer left behind. A variety of therapeutic goals could potentially be achieved through unique combinations of controlled drug release from these reservoirs.

Conor’s efforts are currently focused on the development of drug-eluting stents for the treatment of restenosis. Conor is also investigating the potential applicability of its stent technology for myocardial rescue in setting of acute MI, treatment of reperfusion injury, and treatment of diabetic restenosis.

In 2007, Conor Medsystems LLC became a member of the Johnson and Johnson family of companies, the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of healthcare products. Conor Medsystems is an affiliate of Cordis Corporation. The Cordis franchise welcomes to its family of products the Reservoir (RES) Technology platform developed by Conor Medsystems.

Products using RES Technology are under development and are not approved or available for sale in any market.
