Hi Hamid reza Moradi,
As far as I know there are two main ways of manufacturing stents:
- Laser Profiling/Cutting of tubes into stents (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxxIcM3oPQU). This video illustrates the process clearly.
- Some other companies, manufacture stents by winding nitinol wires on a jig as illustrated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WEnho3noDc
Hope this helps.
stents are produced mostly by high-precision laser-cutting-based technology / welding.The mesh structure is produced from a thin wall tube/wire by laser cut.
Stent Manufacturing Process : Laser Machining - CNC Honing and Blasting - Nitinol Shape setting- Automated Electropolishing - Automated Annealing - Final Inspection & Quality Assurance - Cleanroom Packaging.
