Abstract
The disclosure relates to a system for braiding a patient-specific adapted stent. The system includes at least one set with multiple braiding sleeves and a base carrier for receiving at least two braiding sleeves of the set, wherein the braiding sleeves each have an inner contour adapted to the outer contour of the base carrier, so that multiple braiding sleeves can be arranged in any order on the base carrier, in particular slid in any order onto the base carrier, to form a braiding mandrel, and wherein at least two braiding sleeves of the set have different outer contours from each another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for braiding a patient-specific adapted stent.
Claims19
A system configured to braid a patient-specific adapted stent, the system comprising:
- at least one set with multiple braiding sleeves and a base carrier configured to receive at least two braiding sleeves of the at least one set, wherein each braiding sleeve has an inner contour adapted to an outer contour of the base carrier, so that the multiple braiding sleeves are adapted to be arranged in any order on the base carrier to form a braiding mandrel, and wherein the at least two braiding sleeves of the at least one set have different outer contours from each another.
A method for braiding a patient-specific adapted stent, the method comprising:
- selecting braiding sleeves from a set, wherein at least two braiding sleeves of the set have different outer contours from each other;
- arranging the braiding sleeves on a base carrier to form a braiding mandrel, wherein the braiding sleeves directly abut each other;
- and
- braiding the stent from one or more filaments on the braiding mandrel.
A system configured to braid a patient-specific adapted stent, the system comprising:
- at least one set with multiple braiding sleeves and a base carrier configured to receive at least two braiding sleeves of the at least one set, wherein each braiding sleeve has an inner contour adapted to an outer contour of the base carrier, so that the multiple braiding sleeves are adapted to be arranged in any order on the base carrier to form a braiding mandrel, wherein the at least two braiding sleeves of the at least one set have different outer contours from each another, and wherein the base carrier has at least one cylindrical carrier section and each braiding sleeve has a through opening so that the multiple braiding sleeves are adapted to be slid onto the carrier section with a loose fit.
