A recent patent application (Publication Number: US20240033111A1) describes a novel vascular stent design that incorporates a self-expanding braided tubular structure. The stent is constructed using a combination of first braid wires with cladding jackets and composite braid wires made up of both first and second braid wires. The composite braid wires are spiral and interwoven with each other, creating a unique design that allows for controlled expansion and flexibility.

The patent application outlines various features of the vascular stent, including the materials used for the cladding jacket and wire core, the cross-section shapes of the braid wires, and the addition of an opaque filament for imaging purposes. Additionally, the stent can be coated with drug, antithrombotic, or hydrophilic coatings for enhanced performance. The stent's dimensions, including diameter and length, are carefully specified to ensure optimal functionality. Overall, this innovative design offers a promising solution for vascular interventions, combining advanced materials and construction techniques to improve patient outcomes.
