22/09/2023 – Wire processing / braiding

Automated production of wire based stent implants

According to WHO, cardiovascular disease and cancer will be the leading causes of death. In 2016, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 17.9 million deaths, followed by cancer with 9 million. Growing population and longer life expectancy contribute to the rise in diseases. Stent implants are in high demand to address occlusion caused by atherosclerosis and tumors. In Germany stents are primarily used in coronary and peripheral vessels, as well as cerebral blood vessels. Stents are also used in non-vascular systems. Stent procedures are increasing globally across medical specialties [MGJ+22].
