Useful Information of Machined Tantalum
Tantalum was discovered by Swedish chemist A.G. Ekeberg in 1802, it is mainly present in tantalite and co-exists with niobium. Tantalum has moderate hardness and is full of ductility and can be drawn into filament thin foil. Tantalum has excellent chemical properties and very high corrosion resistance; it also has high melting point. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, tantalum is widely ...

A nitric oxide releasing, self assembled peptide amphiphile matrix that mimics native endothelium for coating implantable cardiovascular devices
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Deployment of stents and vascular grafts has been a major therapeutic method for treatment. However, restenosis, incomplete endothelialization, and thrombosis hamper the long term clinical success. As a solution to meet these current challenges, we have developed a native endothelial ECM mimicking ...

Titanium but not just titanium
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...

Some results of studying laser micromachining at medical stents manufacturing
Cardio-vascular diseases are the number one killer in the world. As an alternative to common treatment methods the installation of specific-purpose stents into the damaged blood vessel could be used in order to minimise fatal outcomes. Existing technologies of stent manufacturing provide quite good results but are very expensive at the moment. The given paper deals with the design of stents for ...
