A medical stent is a tube inserted into narrowed arteries to keep them open and allow normal blood flow. Stents are manufactured through a process of polishing, winding, and heating. The cost of stents depends on the type, with drug-eluting stents costing less than $1700 on average to slowly release drugs preventing re-narrowing, while more advanced bio-engineered stents can cost less than $4000.

Drug-eluting stents are costlier than bare-metal stents, because they slowly release a drug that prevent in-stent restenosis. Type Avg.cost Bare-metal stent Less than $1000 Drug-eluting Less than $1700 Bio-engineered/dual-therapy stent Less than $4000
- 5. PERFORMANCE Very small, the minimum cell size is 2 mm. (enter the blood vessels smoothly) Very flexible because it suit the blood vessels shape. They can be subject to elongation or compression during delivery. Non degradable - good strength and corrosion resistance (so we do not have to replace it ) High cell density 5
