The fastest measurement and inspection of coronary and endovascular stents
Sierra VDI has all of the stent measurement capabilities of the Sierra Dimensional system. Also, it can detect functional and cosmetic defects over the entire outer diameter of coronary and endovascular stents—not just selected locations.
SUMMARY
Get the scale, reliability, innovation, and price needed to meet next-generation production requirements
MARKETS:
- Stent R&D
- Stent manufacturing
APPLICATIONS:
- Coronary stent measurement and defect detection
- Endovascular stent measurement and defect detection
MATERIALS:
- Stainless steel
- Nitinol (nickel titanium)
SPECIFICATIONS
SELECTED DEFECT TYPES:
- Broken strut
- Narrow strut
- Wide strut
- Bent strut
- Sharp edge
