TECHNIQUE OF FORMING EXPANDABLE DEVICES FROM CELLS THAT MAY BE TRANSITIONED BETWEEN A CONTRACTED STATE AND AN EXPANDED STATE

An expandable device comprising a plurality of expandable cells. The cells may be bistable cells or other types of cells that are expanded from a contracted position towards an expanded position. Additionally, the cells may be combined with locking mechanisms to hold the structure in an expanded pos...
