Characterizing the Mechanical Performance of a Bare-Metal Stent with an Auxetic Cell Geometry

Characterizing the Mechanical Performance of a Bare-Metal Stent with an Auxetic Cell Geometry

This study develops and characterizes the distinctive mechanical features of a stainless-steel metal stent with a tailored structure. A high-precision femtosecond laser was used to micromachine a stent with re-entrant hexagonal (auxetic) cell geometry. We then characterized its mechanical behavior u...
