| 20080243230 | STENT HAVING RADIALLY EXPANDABLE MAIN BODY - A stent made of a material having a low strength and having a main body circumscribing a cylindrical shape and radially expandable from a contracted starting position into a dilated support position, comprising a) a plurality of support segments disposed around the circumference and arrayed on one another in the axial direction each segment being formed by a strut meandering in its coarse structure in its contracted starting position and having alternately opposing meandering curves expandable into the support position made of flexible material; b) a plurality of axial connectors connecting between zenith points of at least a part of the meandering curves in the axial-parallel direction of the support segments; and c) at least one means for stabilizing the strut coarse structure in its contracted starting position against radial expansion and being automatically detachable upon a radial expansion of the stent. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080269872 | STENT - A stent comprising an essentially tubular open supporting structure ( | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080300665 | MEDICAL IMPLANT, IN PARTICULAR STENT - A medical implantable stent comprising a main structure ( | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090107516 | STENT MADE OF NITINOL HAVING IMPROVED AXIAL BENDING STIFFNESS AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTION METHOD - A stent made of nitinol having improved axial or radial stiffness, the stent having a support structure which comprises peripheral struts around the circumference, wherein the peripheral struts are linked to one another in the axial direction via connection struts. The support structure may assume a first compressed state and a second expanded state. The nitinol is in the support structure in a martensitic microstructure in the compressed state and largely in an austenitic microstructure in the second expanded state. One or more support structure sections, however, are entirely or partially in a martensitic microstructure in the second expanded state. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090208555 | CONTROL OF THE DEGRADATION OF BIODEGRADABLE IMPLANTS USING A COATING - The invention relates to an endovascular implant, which is at least largely biodegradable and whose in vivo degradation can be controlled. To achieve this, the implant comprises a tubular base body, open on its end faces and consisting of at least one biodegradable material, said base body having an in vivo, location-dependent first degradation characteristic D | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100010615 | INSERTION SYSTEM FOR A MEDICAL DEVICE HAVING A SHEATH AND SHEATH FOR AN INSERTION SYSTEM FOR A MEDICAL DEVICE - An insertion system ( | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100137971 | Stent with a Structure of a Biocorrodible Material and a Controlled Corrosion Behavior - The invention relates to a stent with a structure of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy or tungsten alloy, which comprises a multiplicity of web sections connected to one another, wherein (i) the structure has a support structure of a number of first web sections connected to one another, which are designed to perform a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent after an expansion of the stent for a predetermined period of time and (ii) at least one second web section is present, which a) is directly connected to a selected first web section, b) does not perform a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent after the expansion of the stent for the predetermined period of time, and c) has a smaller average grain size than the first web sections of the support structure from (i). | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100145432 | IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The present invention describes a method for producing an implant, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, wherein the base material of the body ( | 06-10-2010 |
