  • Patent number: 10888411
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an intravascular stent for being implanted into blood vessels and a method for manufacturing the same. The intravascular stent is woven by at least one weaving wire, and the stent is in a tubular structure. The at least one wire has an even number of free ends, and the free ends of the at least one wire are aligned and jointed together with each other, which have cutting portions. The cutting portions of the two free ends that are aligned and jointed with each other match each other to make the two free ends be engaged into a joint portion with a diameter identical to that of the wire. The intravascular stent has seamless connection, and the distribution of radial force and axial force of the free ends is uniform, leading to convenience for laser welding. Moreover, the intravascular stent has great flexibility, excellent operability and perfect appearance.

  • Patent number: 10292848
    Abstract: A highly retractable intravascular stent delivery system, including a tube assembly and a rotation driving assembly. The tube assembly includes an outer tube 5, an intermediate tube 6, and inner tube 7, wherein an intravascular stent 3 and a stent retaining block 4 are provided within the outer tube 5. The rotation driving assembly includes a housing 9, an outer screw 19, and an intermediate screw 14 located within the housing 9, as well as a driving member. The driving member allows two screws to rotate at opposite directions, so as to drive the outer tube 5 to move toward the proximal end, and the intermediate tube 6 pushes the stent retaining block 4 and the intravascular stent 3 to move toward the distal end. The system uses three-lay tube structure and uses driving gear to drive two screws to move at directions opposite to each other, such that the intermediate tube 6 and the outer tube 5 are driven to move to directions opposite to each other.
