NiTi based stent for the treatment of acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia: a preliminary study on NiTi wires and tubes under pure bending

Abstract: International audienceBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains an incompletely understood disease, mostly striking old men. As an alternative to catheterization, an innovative NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) based stent, made of a helical wire inserted into a helical tube was developed. In particular, this stent presents at least two distinct successive shape memories during heating, allowing an extension phase to release the urethra, and a contraction phase for an easy removal. This paper presents the stent m… Show more
