271 A stent is a vascular-wall prop. It is a lattice-shaped tube made of stainless steel or nickel-titanium. It serves to hold open constricted coronary blood vessels and improves the flow of blood through the vessels. It is important in stent manufacture that the cut end of any wire in the lattice is as flat as possible, otherwise it will be neces- sary rework the stents. These side cutters have fine polished car- bide cutting blades to accurately cut the lattice and reduce the need for rework. VectranTM is a Trademark of Kurary Co., Ltd.
