There are three major components to a drugeluting stent:
Type of stent that carries the drug coating Method by which the drug is delivered (eluted) by the coating to the arterial wall (polymeric or other) The drug itself how does it act in the body to prevent restenosis?
THROMBOSIS
TWO FOLD Challenges : In-stent Restenosis and Thrombosis Problem addressed by the Industry: Use Drug Eluting Stents(800 USD) instead of Bare Metal Stents(2200 USD), However DES leads to thrombosis and BMS leads to Restenosis.

Solution and differentiators Important pointers from this Innovation: Prospects for a Third generation Stent involving Nanotechnology Biocompatibility Nano coated vs bare stent were In vitro exposed to human blood Excellent biocompatibility and anti platelet adhesion properties were seen on Nano coated stent surface. Large platelet adhesion seen on Bare metal stents showing high risk for thrombosis. Novelty of this invention Value Proposition Stent inert Global Stent device market is $ 4.2 Billion Reduce platelet adhesion (USA 43%)/per year Competition is for Prevent acute thrombosis clotting bare metal stents($ 800) and drug coated The material coated is new stents ($2300) The process to coat in nm is new Our innovation will provide stents at 800 The time scale needed for deposition USD with anti < 2 hours restentosis and anti thrombosis effect. Low cost production This is the first of its kind from India where a Nano coated stent is developed

MOTIVATION: Coronary stent has emerged over the years to be the established platform strategy for interventional procedures performed in all modern day cardiac catheterization laboratories. Unfortunately many of these patients(20 to 40%) develop an exaggerated vascular neointimal proliferation after stenting namely, in stent restenosis. On the other hand, Drug Eluting Stents bring in late stent thrombosis. New generation stents are needed to abolish restenosis and thrombosis without compromising safety.
