POLYMER STENT WITH TUNABLE AXIAL AND RADIAL FLEXIBILITY

Stents are provided which include geometric segments comprising radial elements and axial elements. Both the radial and axial elements are optionally characterized by a width and a thickness, and the widths and thicknesses of the radial and axial elements are capable of being fixed independently of...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Stents are provided which include geometric segments comprising radial elements and axial elements. Both the radial and axial elements are optionally characterized by a width and a thickness, and the widths and thicknesses of the radial and axial elements are capable of being fixed independently of one another, permitting the axial and radial flexibility of the stent to be controlled independently of one another. L'invention concerne des stents qui comprennent des segments géométriques comprenant des éléments radiaux et des éléments axiaux. Tant les éléments radiaux qu'axiaux sont éventuellement caractérisés par une largeur et une épaisseur, et les largeurs et épaisseurs des éléments radiaux et axiaux sont capables d'être fixées indépendamment l'une de l'autre, permettant de réguler les flexibilités axiale et radiale du stent indépendamment l'une de l'autre.
