Drug-eluting Stent Coatings
Drug-eluting Stent Coatings – Ultrasonic Spray Nozzle – Cheersonic
A drug-eluting stent is a peripheral or coronary stent (a scaffold) placed into narrowed, diseased peripheral or coronary arteries that slowly releases a drug to block cell proliferation. This prevents fibrosis that, together with clots (thrombi), could otherwise block the stented artery, a process called restenosis. The stent is usually placed within the peripheral or coronary artery by an interventional cardiologist or interventional radiologist during an angioplasty procedure.
Drug-eluting stents in current clinical use were approved by the FDA after clinical trials showed they were statistically superior to bare-metal stents for the treatment of native coronary artery narrowings, having lower rates of major adverse cardiac events (usually defined as a composite clinical endpoint of death + myocardial infarction + repeat intervention because of restenosis).
The UAM3000 is a new stent coating system for coating arterial stents with polymers containing anti-restinosis drugs. The UAM3000 offers the same cutting-edge precision stent coating features that have made Cheersonic the industry’s manufacturer in producing high-quality stent coatings with expanded features and higher volume production capabilities. The system incorporates Cheersonic’s ultrasonic nozzle, which produces a very thin, precise, straight spray pattern, and ultra-low liquid delivery system.
Cheersonic is a professional manufacturer in the development and application of liquid ultrasonic atomization technology into nozzle systems and spraying and coating application systems. Compared to conventional pressure spraying methods, the company’s ultrasonic nozzles do not clog, reduce liquid usage, waste, and environmental impact while achieving much more precise, uniform, thin film coatings. Cheersonic is continually developing new applications for its unique technology, replacing wasteful practices in a world that is growing ever more environmentally sensitive.
