Testing of Stents Stent Materials Stents continue to evolve and continued material evaluation and development, as well as the delivery of new testing methods, is important for the evolution and success for these materials.
As such, the cyclic fatigue and durability properties of Nitinolbased endovascular stents are discussed in terms of an engineeringbased experimental testing program. In this paper, the combined effects of cardiac pulsatile fatigue and stentvessel oversizing are evaluated for application to both stents and stent subcomponents.

Nov 03, 2014· Materials and Methods. This research was performed on high molecular weight PLLA bioabsorbable cardiovascular stents. By investigating the variation trends of the in vivo and in vitro performances during the degradation process and by the using finite element analysis to simulate the degradation process, we expected to demonstrate the degradation mechanism of the bioabsorbable stent .

Industry Update: Mechanical Testing of Stents and Stent Materials Stents are a wonderful creation of modern medical engineering that aid physicians and surgeons in the treatment of heart disease. Conditions, such as smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol help promote atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaque within arteries, which can ultimately lead to heart attack and stroke.
Mar 29, 2010· This machine is for exerting a 3point bend fatigue test on a stent. Up to 10 stents can be tested at a time and if the stents are individually encapsulated in a silicone tube, the stents can be ...
Apr 11, 2013· Metal (Nickel) Allergies to Stents Tweet Most stents, both bare metal and drugeluting (drugcoated), are fashioned with a metal alloy, either stainless steel or cobaltchromium, but all contain nickel a metal that a certain percentage of the population is allergic to.
Fatigue Testing of Compressor Valves. The ElectroPuls E3000 instrument can be used to test the fatigue life of compressor valves to minimize failure from the return spring or cracking in the membrane.

Stents are most commonly made from Nitinol wire, which must be tested to ASTM F2516 in a simple cyclic test. Another static test that is often carried out on stents is a flexural test in accordance with ASTM F2606. In addition to testing the raw material, the diamond structure of the stent body is commonly tested in fatigue at 60 Hz in position control.
