  • Medical device for inserting into a hollow organ of the body
    Patent number: 9855157
    Abstract: The invention relates to a medical device for inserting into a hollow organ of the body. The device has a compressible and expandable lattice structure made of webs, which are integrally connected to each other by web connectors and which bound closed cells of the lattice structure, wherein the web connectors each have a connector axis extending between two cells which, in a longitudinal direction of the lattice structure, are adjacent to each other. During the transition of the lattice structure from the production state to a compressed state, the web connectors rotate in such a way that an angle between the connector axis and a longitudinal axis of the lattice structure changes, in particular increases, during the transition of the lattice structure from a completely expanded production state to a partially expanded intermediate state.
