The Stent Manufacturing Industry, a Work in Precision

The stent manufacturing industry has evolved over the years with the advancements in the field of engineering and in manufacturing capabilities. A stent may be a metal tube that is inserted in the body to allow fluid passage or a plastic tube placed during surgery with the intent that the body will absorb the plastic over time. The stent plays a vital role in the treatment of cardio-vascular blockages or aneurism treatment.

Stent are also useful for gastro-intestinal diseases as well as in birth control and alleviation of pain in kidney stone cases. For example it is placed in the coronary arteries after performing angioplasty. The medical applications used for these procedures require a high degree of precision. 

The stent manufacturing industry has fulfilled these requirements with quality equipment and today is able to achieve a minimum feature size of less than 0.002” (0.05mm). The precision is achieved with the help of lasers, optics, positioning systems and CNC programs that can manufacture stents of high quality. The ISO 13485:2003 certification has ensured that the standards in medical manufacturing are followed consistently. 

The use of materials such as Nitinol which is an alloy made of nickel and titanium has enabled the stent manufacturing industry to provide the best as per the requirements of the medical field. The alloy is shaped using precise cutting techniques along with finishing and rigorous inspection to deliver a high quality product.

This has enabled the stent manufacturing industry to produce stents that can be used as implants or instruments in the most challenging medical procedures. Please visit us at www.laserage.com
