Applying Polymeric Covers to Stents and Laser Cut Hypotubes with Elad Einav of Medibrane

In this podcast episode, Elad Einav, a team member at Medibrane, discusses the innovative application of polymeric covers for stents and laser-cut hypotubes. Elad shares insights into how these advanced materials enhance the performance of therapeutic catheters and implants used in medical procedures.

Key Topics Covered in This Podcast:

  • The traditional labor-intensive process of attaching polymeric covers to stents using hand-sewn sutures, and the game-changing advantages of Medibrane’s suture-less lamination technology.
  • The selective bonding technique for polymeric covers to self-expanding scaffold segments, which helps reduce radial crimping forces and achieve low delivery profiles.
  • The early-stage process of applying ultra-thin-wall polyurethane covers to the outer diameter of laser-cut hypotubes, allowing for variable thickness and durometer along the length of the hypotube.

This episode provides valuable insights into the revolutionary approach to improving the functionality and durability of medical devices. Don’t miss out on this informative discussion!
