Tubular supporting prosthesis, e.g. for blood vessels, with laterally overlapping curved sheets has overlapping curved sheets of adjacent first and second supporting rings with connection point formed in overlapping region

摘要

The tubular supporting prosthesis (1) has at least two adjacent and connected supporting rings (2.1-2.4), each formed by a meandering filament wound to form curved sheets. Each curved sheet of adjacent first and second supporting rings laterally overlap and the connection point (3) is formed in the overlapping region.
