Stent having a method and apparatus, as well defined surface characteristics to determine the surface properties of the stent

摘要

Serve the wetting behavior of the stent surface as a measure of surface characteristics of the stent surface, a method and apparatus for determining the surface characteristics of the stent to be implanted in a body lumen is disclosed. To measure the wetting behavior, changes in the wetting force along the length of the stent surface is measured, the wetting force between the stent surface and the liquid surface is detected along the length of the stent. .BACKGROUND
