Metropolitan Region Eindhoven (MRE) provides a stimulus grant to support a new development program between STENTiT and Wellinq. With the funding, a dedicated balloon catheter will be made for the regenerative stent. This balloon catheter is an essential component of the delivery system to place the regenerative stent inside the blood vessel of a patient.
We are very please that with the financial support from the region, our long-standing collaboration can be further intensified to get the regenerative stent another step closer to the patients.
