An absorbable stent includes an absorbable matrix. The matrix includes a number of wave-shaped rings connected by connection units and arranged in an axial direction. The wave-shaped ring includes a number of waves arranged in a circumferential direction. A peak, a valley and a support connecting the peak and the valley form the wave. Two adjacent wave-shaped rings and the connection unit form a closed side supporting unit. The matrix has a volume of 4 μm to 40 μm per unit blood vessel area. The absorbable stent has sufficient radial supporting strength of no less than 55 kPa for clinical applications. Moreover, the volume of the matrix per unit blood vessel area is less than volumes of existing stents. When the absorbable stent and existing stents are made of the same material, the absorbable stent has a shorter degradation and absorption cycle.

Absorbable stent

An implantable device including a metal substrate; that contains particles having a size of 1 μm or more; if the wall thickness of the metal substrate is greater than or equal to 0.04 mm and less than or equal to 0.12 mm, the largest particle size is less than or equal to 15 μm and the average content of the particles is less than or equal to 40 ppm; if the wall thickness of the metal substrate is greater than 0.12 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm, the largest particle size is less than or equal to 20 μm and the average content of the particles is less than or equal to 100 ppm; The size of the particles and the average content of the particles are reasonably controlled according to the wall thickness of the metal substrate, improving the plastic deformation capability of the implantable device.

Implantable device

An absorbable metal stent includes an absorbable metal substrate; the absorbable metal substrate includes a plurality of wave-shaped annular structures and a plurality of axial connecting portions, two ends of each axial connecting portion being connected to two adjacent wave-shaped annular structures, respectively, so as to axially connect the plurality of wave-shaped annular structures; a corrosion-promoting coating is formed on each axial connecting portion, the corrosion-promoting coating containing a corrosion-promoting substance, and the corrosion-promoting substance being selected from at least one of a degradable polymer and a degradable polymer antioxidant; the corrosion-promoting coatings cause the corrosion of the axial connecting portions to occur earlier than the corrosion of the plurality of wave-shaped annular structures. The absorbable metal stent has good bending performance and may prevent the problems of secondary hyperplasia after implantation and stenosis caused thereby.
