Development of weft-knitted and braided polypropylene stents for arterial implant

Textile biomedical materials have been used for various applications contributing considerably in improving quality of life. The current study aims at improving polypropylene fibre stents which may replace metallic ones. In order to produce the stents, weft-knitting and braiding technologies were used. In the braiding technique, by varying the takeup ratio (using gears with the appropriate number of teeth in th...
