Stents are made based on nickel and titanium components, placed or implanted directly into the patient's heart.
On the implant, the scientists coated a body of silicon that was adapted to the body.
Although stents are researched and manufactured by many countries around the world about a year ago, but Russian-made products have many outstanding advantages.
According to Russian scientists, the stents produced by the country are 5 times cheaper than imported products.
In addition, thanks to a silicon-coated design that allows tissues to rapidly grow, shorten healing time and leave fewer complications.
This invention has been successfully tested and now scientists are turning to clinical trials.
