I was interested to see Don's comment because my impression while squeezing both stents was tha the Memotherm did not feel as strong as a Wallstent. I specifically asked our product sales rep. about the question of relative hoop strength. The answer was that they are comparable (of course), but I am in the process of trying to obtain hard comparison numbers from the product manager. If I find out for sure I will post it.
