Key result
The weave method for computationally modelling filament interaction in braided stents was found to be much more robust than the join method.
Why the study?
Accurate computational modelling of braided stents is essential for the design and development of next-generation devices.
The weave method provides a more robust approach for computationally modelling filament interactions in braided stents compared to the join method.
Weave method preferred for robust stent filament modeling; leaves open clinical validation before informing device design.
. Accurate computational modelling of these devices is essential for the design and development of the next generation of these stents. In this study, two commonly utilised methods of computationally modelling filament interaction in braided stents are investigated: the join method and the weave method. Three different braided stent designs are experimentally tested and computationally modelled in both radial and v-block configurations. The results of the study indicate that while both methods are capable of capturing braided stent performance to some degree, the weave method is much more robust.
