The paper describes geometry modeling for weft-knitted stents for colorectal cancer. Polydioxanone monofilament with 150 tex was used to produce tubular stents using a small weft-knitting machine. A geometrical model for single jersey weft-knitted structures was suggested here based on the plain knitted fabric model of Perice and Kurbak. The main objective is to model tubular weft-knitted stent so as to investigate its biomechanical functions by optimizing different stent structures. Weft-knitting parameters of the stent can be carried out using Finite element modeling (FEM).
