NY and Abu Dhabi develop 3D stent tech
Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi have developed a new gastric stent using 3D printing, called "BRIDGE." It is biodegradable and significantly more efficient at drainage—more than twice as much—while also being capable of withstanding sharp bends. This innovation improves the treatment of gastric leaks following weight-loss surgeries, reducing the need for a second procedure to remove the stent. As a result, it enhances treatment effectiveness and alleviates patient burden. The study, published in the journal "Device," confirms that this new design outperforms traditional stents in performance, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure high flexibility and effective fluid flow.
