Benchtop Stent Coating Systems

The UAM3000 is a new Benchtop Stent Coating Systems for coating arterial stents with polymers containing anti-restinosis drugs. The UAM3000 offers the same cutting-edge precision stent coating features that have made Cheersonic the industry’s manufacturer in producing high-quality stent coatings with expanded features and higher volume production capabilities. The system incorporates Cheersonic’s ultrasonic nozzle, which produces a very thin, precise, straight spray pattern, and ultra-low liquid delivery system.

Customers have the option of attaching a custom stent holding device onto the rotating mandrels or using Cheersonic provided mandrels. The stents are loaded onto the mandrels and the cassette is inserted into the load chamber. The extend/retract shaft picks up each stent from the cassette and delivers it to the sealed process chamber for spraying. Stents are rotated at a fixed speed, controlled by the user. The stent moves horizontally side-to-side beneath the target area. The number of horizontal passes made is programmable.

A low-velocity exhaust maintains a negative air pressure to assure that any unwanted mist beyond the target area is removed. The system’s unique design allows for safe and convenient access to the stent loading and unloading area. Large, unobstructed viewing windows and high-intensity internal LED lighting allow for easy observation.

With integrated controls for process parameters, liquid delivery and stent movement, the UAM3000 stent coating system provides a complete solution for developing a stent coating process and moderate volume production.
