Abstract

An expandable medical device (10) having a plurality of elongated struts (18), the plurality of elongated struts being joined together to form a substantially cylindrical device which is expandable from a cylinder having a first diameter to a cylinder having a second diameter, and the plurality of struts each having a strut width in a circumferential direction. At least one of the plurality of struts includes at least one opening (24, 26) extending at least partially through a thickness of said strut. A beneficial agent may be loaded into the opening within the strut. The expandable medical device may further include a plurality of ductile hinges formed between the elongated struts, the ductile hinges (20) allowing the cylindrical device to be expanded or compressed from the first diameter to the second diameter by deformation of the ductile hinges.

Claims (15)

1. An expandable medical device comprising:
a plurality of substantially rigid sections;
a plurality of ductile hinges interconnecting the plurality of substantially rigid sections to form a cylindrical stent which is expandable from a first diameter to a second diameter by deformation of the plurality of ductile hinges without substantial deformation of the substantially rigid sections, wherein the ductile hinges have different widths depending on their location in the stent; and a plurality of openings containing a beneficial agent, the openings positioned in the substantially rigid sections, wherein the plurality of substantially rigid sections and the plurality of ductile hinges are interconnected in a plurality of alternating interconnected U-shapes and, wherein ductile hinges closer to the bases of the interconnected U-shapes have a larger width than ductile hinges farther from the bases of the interconnected U-shapes.
2. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein said plurality of openings are non-deforming openings.
3. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein said the plurality of openings extend through a thickness of the substantially rigid sections, so as to thereby define a through-opening.
4. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the plurality of openings have a depth less than a thickness of the substantially rigid sections, so as to thereby define a recess.
5. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein a single beneficial agent containing opening is located in each of the plurality of rigid sections.
6. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein a plurality of beneficial agent containing openings are located in each of the plurality of rigid sections.
7. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the plurality of alternating interconnected U-shapes form a cylindrical tube.
8. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the plurality of alternating interconnected U-shapes form a helically wound band.
9. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the interconnected U-shapes each include at least four substantially rigid sections and at least three ductile hinges.
10. The expandable medical device according to Claim 7, wherein a width of the ductile hinges varies depending on a position of the ductile hinge on the at least one cylindrical tube in an axial direction.
11. The expandable medical device according to Claim 10, wherein a width of the ductile hinges closest to the ends of the at least one cylindrical tube is greater than a width of the ductile hinges closest to the center of the at least one cylindrical tube.
12. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the ductile hinges are designed to deform plastically upon radial expansion or compression of the expandable medical device while the plurality of substantially rigid sections experience substantially no plastic deformation upon radial expansion or compression.
13. The expandable medical device according to Claim I wherein the interconnected U-shapes each include at least three substantially rigid sections and at least two ductile hinges.
14. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1 or Claim 8, wherein the interconnected U-shapes are asymmetrical.
15. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the ductile hinge widths are selected to distribute deformation throughout all the ductile hinges and prevent concentrated bending in particular hinges.
