A medical device for inserting into a hollow organ of the body, said medical device having a compressible and expandable lattice structure made of webs, which are integrally connected to each other by web connectors and which bound closed cells of the lattice structure, wherein the web connectors each have a connector axis extending between two cells which, in a longitudinal direction of the lattice structure, are adjacent to each other. During the transition of the lattice structure from the production state to a compressed state, the web connectors rotate in such a way that an angle between the connector axis and a longitudinal axis of the lattice structure changes, in particular increases, during the transition of the lattice structure from a completely expanded production state to a partially expanded intermediate state.
A medical device for introduction into a hollow body organ with a compressible and expandable mesh structure formed from mesh elements and which has at least one closed cell ring which comprises at most 12 directly adjacent cells in a circumferential direction of the mesh structure, wherein the mesh structure is provided, at least in sections, with a covering formed from an electrospun fabric having filaments disposed in an irregular network to define irregular pores, wherein the filaments of the fabric are cohesively connected to each other at their points of intersection in the fabric, wherein at most four filaments of the filaments intersect at any respective point of intersection, wherein the covering comprises at least 10 pores of the irregular pores with a size of at least 15 μm2 over an area of the covering extending 100,000 μm2, wherein at least 60% of the area of the covering is formed by pores of the irregular pores with a size of at least 10 μm2, wherein the mesh elements delimit closed cells of the mesh structure, and wherein each closed cell is delimited by four respective mesh elements of the mesh elements.
