Medical device i.e. stent, for intravascular implantation in e.g. cervical artery, has supporting and compression meshes comprising respective edge loops that are attached to end of mesh tube, where compression mesh comprises filament ends

摘要

The device has a radially compressible and radially expandable mesh tube (10) comprising a supporting mesh (20) and a compression mesh (30). The supporting and compression meshes are formed by filaments (21, 31) connected with one another. The compression mesh is woven into the supporting mesh such that a compressed area (35) is formed. The supporting and compression meshes comprise respective edge loops (22, 32) that are attached to a distal longitudinal end (12) of the mesh tube. The compression mesh comprises open filament ends at a proximal mesh edge (34). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a medical system (2) a method for manufacturing a device or a system.
