Stent Covering Technology – Why is it So Important?

Choosing the polymer is only the first step on the road to cover a stent. Matching the best covering technology to the unique specification of the stent is the second.
Why is the covering technology so important?
The polymer chosen influences the cover parameters partially, whereas the covering technology also plays a role in determining the result.
The technology influences the thickness, radial strength and crimping profile, as well as porous or non-porous nature of the cover. For example, Polyurethane can generate a non-porous cover when is dip-coated, and, it can generate a porous one when a polyurethane membrane is laminated onto the stent and then perforated using a laser machine.

Our engineers have vast experience with dipping, spraying and lamination technologies and can assist you in choosing the best technology according to the product’s cover specification.
