A stent is a medical device designed to serve as a temporary or permanent internal scaffold

to maintain or increase the lumen of a body. The researchers and engineers diverted to
investigate biodegradable materials due to the limitation of metallic materials in stent
Recently engineers replace the biomaterial which used in the past for making stent which is
nonbiodegeradeble mean if the stent implanted once into the body it can remove by surgery
or it implanted for premantely but this thing lead some complication into our body like in
terms of biocompatibility, even sometimes create allergy so in order to solve this problem
recently biodegradable biomaterial use for implant.
