Abstract:For the design of polymer stents, supportability and flexibility are two important indexes, but they are often difficult to balance. The mixed braiding of monofilaments with different diameters provides a potential solution to balance these two indices. In this study, the influence of mixed braiding on the mechanical properties of the stent was further explored by adjusting the knitting ratio of thick and thin monofilaments. By replacing the monofilaments in the stent with monofilaments with smaller diameters … Show more
