Abstract
An endoluminal stent (100) is described herein. In an embodiment, the endoluminal stent (100) includes a plurality of sinusoidal-shaped expandable ringlets (102) provided in parallel to form a tubular structure of the endoluminal stent (100). Further, adjacent ringlets (102) can be connected to each other by one or more asymmetrical offset connectors (108), the offset connectors (108) being non-linear in structure.
Claims5
An endoluminal stent (100) comprising:
- a plurality of ringlets (102) forming a lateral surface of the endoluminal stent (100), each of the plurality of ringlets (102) having a sinusoidal structure along a length of the ringlet (102), wherein the sinusoidal structure is formed as contained in a cylindrical plane of the lateral surface of the endoluminal stent, wherein the plurality of ringlets (102) are coaxial to each other and are provided along a central longitudinal axis (A1);
- and
- a plurality of connectors (108) to couple adjacent ringlets (102), one end of the connector (108) being coupled to one ringlet (102) at a first junction (308) and another end of the connector (108) being coupled to an adjacent ringlet (102) at a second junction (310), wherein an axis (A2) passing through the first junction (308) and parallel to the central longitudinal axis (A1) is at an offset with respect to another axis (A3) passing through the second junction (310) and parallel to the central longitudinal axis (A1).
