Product Description:
Braided nitinol stents are cutting-edge medical devices designed to provide structural support to blood vessels and other luminal structures. Made from a nickel-titanium alloy, these stents combine the unique properties of nitinol—such as superelasticity and memory effect—with the added strength and flexibility of a braided construction. The braiding pattern enhances the stent’s radial strength and flexibility, allowing it to conform to complex anatomical structures while maintaining excellent support. Our braided nitinol stents are crafted with precision to ensure reliable performance in various medical applications, providing durability and safety for patients.

Application Areas:
Braided nitinol stents are highly versatile and are used in various medical fields due to their enhanced flexibility and strength. Some key applications include:
Cardiology: In the treatment of coronary artery disease, braided nitinol stents help to keep narrowed arteries open after angioplasty. Their ability to conform to complex arterial shapes improves placement accuracy and efficacy.
Peripheral Vascular Disease: These stents are employed in peripheral arteries to maintain vessel patency and prevent restenosis, thereby improving blood circulation to the limbs and reducing the risk of complications.
Urology: In cases of ureteral strictures, braided nitinol stents facilitate the unobstructed flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder, aiding in the treatment of kidney stones and other urinary tract conditions.
Gastroenterology: Used to treat strictures and obstructions in the gastrointestinal tract, these stents support proper organ function and prevent blockage, improving patient comfort and outcomes.
Pulmonology: In the management of airway obstructions, braided nitinol stents help to keep airways open, ensuring effective respiration and reducing the risk of respiratory distress.
Features:
Enhanced Flexibility: The braided structure provides superior flexibility, allowing the stent to navigate through complex vessel pathways.
Increased Radial Strength: The braiding pattern increases the stent’s radial strength, providing reliable support and reducing the risk of collapse.
Biocompatibility: Made from biocompatible materials, ensuring minimal risk of adverse reactions within the body.
Conformability: Adapts well to the anatomical structure, ensuring a secure fit and effective support.
Ease of Deployment: Designed for smooth and efficient placement using catheter-based systems.
Production Technology
The manufacturing of braided nitinol stents involves several advanced processes to ensure high-quality and performance:
Material Preparation: Nitinol is processed to achieve the desired mechanical properties, including superelasticity and memory effect.
Braiding Process: The nitinol wires are braided using precision machinery to create the desired braiding pattern, enhancing the stent’s flexibility and strength.
Stent Fabrication: The braided stents are shaped and sized according to specifications through advanced cutting and forming techniques.
Heat Treatment: The stents undergo a controlled heat treatment process to optimize their superelastic properties and memory effect.
Sterilization: Each stent is sterilized using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide to ensure safety and prevent contamination.
Quality Control:
Our quality control process ensures that each braided nitinol stent meets the highest standards:
Material Testing: Assessing the nitinol alloy’s chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Dimensional Inspection: Verifying the stent’s dimensions and tolerances to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Performance Testing: Evaluating the stent’s flexibility, strength, and deployment characteristics under simulated body conditions.
Sterility Testing: Ensuring that the stents are free from microbial contamination before they are shipped.
