Picosecond laser micromachining of nitinol and platinum-iridium alloy for coronary stent applications
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-03)
The demand for micromachining of coronary stents by means of industrial lasers rises quickly for treating coronary artery diseases, which cause more than one million deaths each year. The most widely used types of laser ...
Picosecond laser fabrication of nitinol for coronary stent applications
(Laser Institute of America, 2010)
Nitinol (a shape memory nickel-titanium alloy) is one of the desirable materials for medical stents applications, due to its high corrosion resistance, self-expansion and biocompatibility. The stents are commonly fabricated ...
Comparison of dry and wet fibre laser precision cutting for coronary stent manufacture
(Laser Institute of America, 2010)
High precision laser micromachining is extensively used in medical device industry. In medical stent fabrication, the processed stents must exhibit mechanically robust structures and high surface quality. High cost of post ...
