From Cutting to Coating and Beyond
Manufacturing

A Unique Manufacturing Technology

All Medinol cardiovascular intervention solutions are manufactured in our proprietary FDA-approved manufacturing facility – leveraging unique and patented quality surface technology.

Medinol conducts strict and automated quality control on each individual stent, ensuring consistently exceptional product quality and safety.

Manufacturing
Process

Inspired by the microelectronics industry, QualitySurface manufacturing enables Medinol to produce higher-quality stents which are individually inspected from both the abluminal and intraluminal sides throughout the production process. From cutting to coating and beyond, QualitySurface creates consistent quality.
1
Laser Cutting
Medinol’s stents are cut by laser from cobalt-chrome alloy panels. Each panel includes multiple stent patterns cut during the same sequence in a process far superior to traditional tube-based stent manufacturing.
2
Elastomeric Coating Technology
Medinol’s Drug-Eluting Stents are coated using our patented elastomeric coating technology, in which cobalt-chrome panels are coated with an advanced elastomer instead of traditional rigid polymers used with other drug eluting stents. elastomeric coating also enables a highly-uniform coated surface, eliminating dripping and other sticking irregularities common to traditionally-applied tube-based coatings.
3
Automated Visual Inspection
Cutting stents from cobalt-chrome panels also enables complete inspection of the stent surface using advanced Automated Visual Inspection (AVI) technologies. Unlike traditional stents that are manufactured from tubes, AVI panels enables highly accurate and early detection of deformations, manufacturing variability and other quality issues.
