Flexible structures

A flexible framework for a medical device including:

• a plurality of structural components including:
• a first flexible annular structural component having an axial height measured from a top surface to a bottom surface that is constant around a perimeter of the first flexible annular structural component, wherein the axial height is less than or equal to a radial thickness measured from an outer perimeter to an inner perimeter, wherein the first flexible annular structural component includes a waveform including a first apex, and wherein the perimeter includes at least one bulge that includes a first conduit hole;
• a second flexible annular structural component having an axial height measured from a top surface to a bottom surface that is constant around a perimeter of the second flexible annular structural component, wherein the axial height is less than or equal to a radial thickness measured from an outer perimeter to an inner perimeter, wherein the second flexible annular structural component includes a waveform including a second apex, and wherein the perimeter includes at least one bulge that includes a second conduit hole;
• and
• a rigid structural component having an axial height measured from a top surface to a bottom surface that is constant around a perimeter of the rigid structural component, and wherein the rigid structural component includes a third conduit hole;
• wherein the first flexible annular structural component, the second flexible annular structural component, and the rigid structural component are stacked such that the first conduit hole, the second conduit hole, and the third conduit hole align,
• wherein the plurality of structural components is configured to form at least one internal conduit, and
• wherein the first apex is joined to the second apex by an adhesive, a solder, a weld, a braze, a plating, or a diffusion bonding.
