Abstract
Medical devices, such as endoprostheses, are disclosed. In some embodiments, an endoprosthesis includes a circumferentially-oriented band including two curved portions and a first portion connecting the two curved portions, the first portion having a first width and at least one curved portion having a second width; and a connector extending from the band; wherein the second width is greater than the first width.
Claims30
A endoprothesis comprising:
- a circumferentially-oriented band including two curved portions and a first portion connecting the two curved portions, the first portion having a first width and at least one curved portion having a second width;
- wherein the second width is greater than the first width.
A endoprothesis comprising:
- a circumferentially-oriented band including a plurality of curved portions and a plurality of first portions connecting adjacent curved portions to form a generally sinusoidal pattern, the first portions having a first average width and the curved portions having a second average width,
- wherein a width ratio calculated by dividing the second average width by the first average width is greater than 1.05, and the curved portions and first portion comprise a material with a yield strength of greater than 55 kilopounds per square inch.
An endoprothesis comprising:
- two first portions generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the endoprothesis, the first portions having a first average width;
- and
- a second portion connecting the first portions, the second portion having a second average width
- wherein the first average width is greater than the second average width.
