Different stent materials have different properties such as strength, flexibility, density, shape memory etc. These different sets of properties make each material more suitable for certain clinical scenarios or more appealing to certain physicians.
Medinol is able to maximize the unique advantages of each material by matching it with the optimal design and strut-formation technology.
Stainless steel is the original stent material used in the marketplace. Using the right design it balances the scaffolding required to keep the vessel open with the need to maintain optimal flexibility.
Cobalt chromium is extremely fatigue resistant, that supports the use of thinner and smaller struts while maintaining flexibility, conformability and scaffolding.
Nitinol is a unique metal due to shape memory characteristics. These enables it to be reduced to a minimal size and expand when exposed to body temperature.
