Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A tubular support structure for use in an elongate intravascular medical device comprises an elongate tubular body, a patterned frame structure formed within the elongate tubular body, an inner lumen axially disposed within the elongate tubular body, and a first set of floating tabs axially spaced apart along the patterned frame structure. Each of the first set of floating tabs has a cantilevered end affixed to the patterned frame structure and a free end configured for translating relative to the patterned frame structure and then engaging the patterned frame structure as the tubular support structure is laterally deflected in a first bending direction.
