Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A mandrel for manufacturing a stent from a single wire includes a cylindrical member having a plurality of pins at a proximal end region, a plurality of pins at a distal end region, and a plurality of indentations between the proximal pins and the distal pins. These indentations form a helical pattern on the outer surface of the cylindrical member. The single wire is wrapped around every proximal pin and distal pin on the mandrel by following the indentations in the mandrel. The single wire is slid through the indentation under any crossing section of wire and over the next crossing section of wire in an under-over pattern.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a single-wire stent having a proximal end, a distal end, a diameter, a length, a plurality of loops on the proximal end, and a plurality of loops on the distal end, the method comprising: (a) securing a single wire to a mandrel, the mandrel having proximal pins positioned in a proximal end region of the mandrel, distal pins positioned in a distal end region of the mandrel, and indentations between the proximal pins and the di…
