NEW DELHI: Hospitals, nursing homes and clinics that implant cardiac stents cannot claim margins on the life-saving devices, says the government. The decision is expected to break the nexus between manufacturers, doctors and hospitals that have led to "unethical" markups in the prices of these stents. A cardiac stent is a wire mesh tube used to clear blockages in coronary arteries and prevent heart attacks. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority on February 14 slashed stent prices by over 75%. Including VAT, drug eluting stents (DES) and bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) will now only cost heart patients Rs 31,080, while bare metal stents (BMS) would cost Rs 7,623.

Here's how to take on the challenge of selecting the right materials for an implantable medical device. Len Czuba I don’t think that there is any challenge more confusing to product development teams than selecting materials that can be used for long-term implantable medical devices. Are there databases where implantable materials are featured? Can we go to our local supplier and ask them to recommend a material that can be used for implant applications? Usually the answer to both questions is “No." There are not databases that offer a variety of implantable materials like produce at a supermarket, nor would they be accurate if they did exist.
