Abstract: The present invention provides a 2-way air flow type dispenser for spraying powder and a powder sprayer including the same. The present invention adopts a 2-way air flow manner in which an air flow causing the powder to be sprayed and an air flow causing the powder to be transferred from a container to a spraying nozzle are separately formed, thereby enabling the smooth spraying of the powder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stent having a functional material coated on a cell space (safe coating space) thereof. The stent of the present invention, as a stent having a space for mounting and coating drugs and other materials for expanding the functions of the stent, is highly feasible as an actual product in consideration of the structure, transfer device, and manufacturing process of the stent as a whole, and secures a coating space (safe coating space) of a functional material in a cell of the stent through quantitative and qualitative modelling. Since an additional increase in volume does not occur even when the stent is press-mounted in a transfer device as a result of mounting a radio marker or a drug in the coating space, the stent of the present invention has excellent radio opacity without obstructing the loading and deployment of the stent, and may stably mount a great amount of a functional drug.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wire-mesh stent having a radius of the outmost boundary defined by the following Formula 1 and consisting of a combination of a hook and a cross, a method for manufacturing the same and a method for patterning a multi-alterable structure thereof: Rob=Rtb/(COS(180/Nxo))??Formula 1 The present disclosure microscopically analyzes and quantifies a basic structure of a wire-mesh stent from a viewpoint of integrating, rather than separating, a stent and a delivery device which are main components of a stent system, especially in order to ensure the loadability that can be applied to the delivery device, which is a practical necessity. Moreover, the present disclosure forms a multi-alterable structure pattern that is transformable to various application structures in order to realize a required specific performance, instead of one specific stent structure.

Abstract: An expanding vascular stent is disclosed that is inserted into a blood vessel in the human body and expands the blood vessel. The stent is configured in such a way that adjacent rows, each of which is comprised of a plurality of identical cells, are symmetrically arranged, in an out of phase manner. When the stent is expanded in the radial direction, the adjacent rows are expanded in opposite directions, maintaining their linearly symmetrical state. Therefore, the reduction in the length of the stent can be minimized. Since the stent has also a great degree of flexibility, when it is inserted into the blood vessel, it can minimize the damage to the blood vessel wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vascular stent which is inserted inside a blood vessel. The disclosed vascular stent includes: a first coating film comprising a restenosis inhibiting drug provided on the outside surface of the stent strut; and a second coating film comprising an internal-capsule cellularization promoting drug provided on the inside surface of the stent strut. In this way, restenosis and thrombosis can be prevented from occurring inside the stent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stent which is inserted into a stenosed bile duct to enlarge the bile duct. The stent includes a plurality of hooks which extend outwards from the main body of the stent at a predetermined angle and are spaced apart from each other. Therefore, when the stent is inserted into the bile duct, the hooks that extend outwards from the main body at a predetermined angle are hooked to the inner surface of the bile duct, thus preventing the stent from slipping relative to the bile duct.

Abstract: A biopsy needle device for collecting a tissue sample by penetrating a living body includes a needle. The needle includes a tip portion having a cross-sectional area getting gradually smaller toward a front end thereof and a tissue container portion arranged behind the tip portion for holding the tissue sample therein. The tip portion includes a rear surface contiguous to the tissue container portion and a recess formed on the rear surface.
