Prototyping of biodegradable flat stents in pure zinc by laser microcutting and chemical etching

Cardiovascular stents are biomedical devices, which restore normal blood flow in the case of coronary artery obstructions. Biodegradable metals provide the possibility of a less-invasive treatment, where the stent is dissolved in body fluids after remodelling of the artery. Compared to Mg- and Fe-al...
