Stent

Abstract

Abstract The invention proposes a stent that has easier and better pliability and greater flexibility than known stents, owing to the fact that the stent has multiple meandrous webs (2, 2a, 2b, 2c) arranged successively in the axial direction (A) and spanning its circumference (U), and to the fact that at least two regions (3, 3a, 3'a, 3b) of each meandrous web (2, 2a, 2b, 2c) that face each other and are not mutually connected are situated in the circumferential direction (U), between regions (3, 3a, 3'a, 3b) of the meandrous webs (2, 2a, 2b, 2c) that face each other in the axial direction and are joined by connecting segments (4, 4a, 4b, 4c).
