Manufacturing Technology 3D quality control

Medinol’s 3D cylindrical quality control process is comprised of 4 phases.

The first phase takes place after the high-precision laser fusion once the stent has assumed its final shape. This phase includes a thorough optical inspection of each and every individual stent.

The two following phases includes a highly sensitive weighing process before and after the electropolishing phase. This is designed to detect any abnormal changes in the stent mass in this process

The last phase following the post-electropolishing weighing, and consists of another optical inspection of all stents.

The fact that these quality control measures do not rely on the sampling of individual stents but rather cover each individual product is a direct result of the quality and consistency standards to which we are committed.

Once the stents are inspected and validated they are mounted onto the delivery system. The balloon is folded allowing for the crimping of the stent in the right position. In the following nesting process the balloon is gradually inflated in order to embed the stent and ensure the stent will maintain its position.
