Stent as a structure is placed in artery to avoid clogging of blood flow path due to plaque or fats and other deposits in artery walls, thus to ensure blood flow is restored. The current day technology is to place a metalic stent either self expanding or balloon expanding in the artery to expand the artery vessel through balloon angioplasty. But after the procedure, the metalic structure remains in artery.
RAISE is blessed to work for this noble medical device by leveraging applied research in product design for a Manufacturer of Metallic Stent, of this "Life Saving Product", that "not only touches the heart, but in the heart", by contributing a smallest little from our Subject Matter Expertise.
STENT provide large & exciting opportunities for Researchers in the areas of Pharmacology, Metalurgy, Tribology, Structures, Fluid Dynamics and many more....
On Research Front of the STENT - The Most Latest Anouncement from ABBOTT:
On 25th September 2012, Abbott, Leader in Stents announced dissolving Stents, that not only restores blood flow in affected artery, but dissolves in blood after recovery of the illness, un-like metal stents. Follow the link above, if you are interested knowing about more details
Other Areas of RAISE's Interest
