WHAT ABOUT AMERICAN BIOMED'S STENT DESIGNS?

ABMI has patented some pretty unique designs for stent technology Sri.

Let me take a little of your time and tell you just what is so different and desirable to both a surgeon and his patient.

What is different about the OmniStent?

First off ABMI has patented a unique endless loop design which can be used with different metals other than stainless steel.

Therefore it is possible to produce a more flexible but extremely strong design which will reduce the likelihood of any necessary retreatment of the affected area while making it easier to use.

The second patented design and this is really big is a bifurcated stent. This stent has a unique Y shaped stent that can be used in anything from the large blood vessels of the aortic bifurcation to any smaller bifurcated blood vessel. Believe me there are plenty of these bifurcated blood vessels.

The use of this Y stent instead of two separate individual stents reduces the need for additional surgical access.

This is great for both the doctor and the patient!

It cuts down on the surgical time and and eliminates a second and potentially dangerous surgical prep on the opposite side of the groin.

Faster for the physician, less distressful for the patient!

These stents are not yet on the market. They have to go through further FDA testing before they are approved but you can certainly see why the technology that is patented here is so exciting.

Is this the type of technology that makes the big guys like J&J and Guidant nervous?

I bet it does!
