Title:
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A STENT HAVING SUPERIOR BENDING CHARACTERISTICS, AND STENT MANUFACTURED THEREBY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/096497
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a stent in which a basic jig is employed to weave wires alternately at an obtuse angle and at an acute angle so as to repetitively form star-shaped cells in the left and right portions and upper and lower portions of the stent, such that the wires intersecting each other in the star-shaped cells may freely move, thereby enabling the stent to have flexibility in both the diametrical direction and lengthwise direction thereof and thus have superior bending characteristics. Consequently, the stent of the present invention may have flexible bending characteristics, which prevents the stent from being folded even if forcefully bent after being coated.
