Abstract

The development of the word stent as we use it today refers to a material to hold tissues in position or to make tissues patent. Dr. Charles Thomas Stent, a 19th century London dentist, created a compound for dental impressions that was used to hold skin grafts in place by later plastic surgeons, presaging its present usage.
