  • FLEXIBLE STENT
    Publication number: 20160287418
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a flexible expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as a coronary artery. The stent generally includes a series of metallic cylindrical rings longitudinally aligned on a common axis of the stent and interconnected by a series of links which be polymeric or metallic. Varying configurations and patterns of the links and rings provides longitudinal and flexural flexibility to the stent while maintaining sufficient column strength to space the cylindrical rings along the longitudinal axis and providing a low crimp profile, enhanced stent security and radial stiffness.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 17, 2016
    Publication date: October 6, 2016
    Applicant: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.
    Inventors: E. Tina Cheng, Santosh Prabhu, Kyle Marie Krueger, Diem Uyen Ta, Carla Rosa Pienknagura

Varying configurations and patterns of the links provides longitudinal and flexural flexibility to the stent while maintaining sufficient column strength to space the cylindrical rings along the longitudinal axis. The metallic material forming the rings provides the necessary radial stiffness.
