A Parametric Tool for Studying a New Tracheobronchial Silicone Stent Prototype: Toward a Customized 3D Printable Prosthesis

The management of complex airway disorders is challenging, as the airway stent placement usually results in several complications. Tissue reaction to the foreign body, poor mechanical properties and inadequate fit of the stent in the airway are some of the reported problems. For this reason, the des...

description The management of complex airway disorders is challenging, as the airway stent placement usually results in several complications. Tissue reaction to the foreign body, poor mechanical properties and inadequate fit of the stent in the airway are some of the reported problems. For this reason, the design of customized biomedical devices to improve the accuracy of the clinical results has recently gained interest. The aim of the present study is to introduce a parametric tool for the design of a new tracheo-bronchial stent that could be capable of improving some of the performances of the commercial devices. The proposed methodology is based on the computer aided design software and on the finite element modeling. The computational results are validated by a parallel experimental work that includes the production of selected stent configurations using the 3D printing technology and their compressive test.
