Biomedical Engineering
Research from Chang Gung University, Department of Mechanical Engineering provide new insights into biomedical engineering
Published in Drug Week, October 15th, 2010
Fresh data on biomedical engineering are presented in the report 'Fabrication of balloon-expandable self-lock drug-eluting polycaprolactone stents using micro-injection molding and spray coating techniques.' According to a study from Taiwan, "The purpose of this report was to develop novel balloon-expandable self-lock drug-eluting poly(e-caprolactone) stents. To fabricate the biodegradable stents, polycaprolactone (PCL) components were first fabricated by a lab-scale micro-injection molded machine."
"They were then assembled and hot-spot welded into mesh-like stents of 3 and 5 mm in diameters. A special geometry of the components was designed to self-lock the assembled...
