Bare-metal stent is a vascular stent without a coating (as used in drug-eluting stents). It is a mesh-like tube of thin wire. The first stents licenced for use in cardiac arteries were bare metal - often 316L stainless steel. More recent ('2nd generation') stents use cobalt chromium alloy.

Examples

  • Stainless steel: R stent (OrbusNeich), Genous Bio-engineered R stent (OrbusNeich), (J&J, Cordis) BxVelocity, (Medtronic) Express2, Matrix Stent (Sahajanand Medical technologies)
  • Cobalt-chromium alloy: Blazer (OrbusNeich), Genous Bio-engineered Cobalt Chromium stent (OrbusNeich), Azule (OrbusNeich), (DISA Vascular) SolarFlex & ChromoFlex,(Medtronic) Driver, (Guidant, Abbott) ML Vision, Coronnium (Sahajanand Medical technologies)
