Abstract

An expandable tissue supporting device (20) of the present invention employs ductile hinges (32) at selected points in the expandable device. When expansion forces are applied to the device as a whole, the ductile hinges concentrate expansion stresses and strains in small well defined areas. The expandable medical device including ductile hinges provides the advantages of low expansion force requirements, relatively thick walls which are radio-opaque, improved crimping properties, high crush strength, reduced elastic recoil after implantation, and control of strain to a desired level. The expandable tissue supporting device includes a plurality of elongated beams arranged in a cylindrical device and connected together by a plurality of ductile hinges.
Although many ductile hinge configurations are possible, the ductile hinges preferably have a substantially constant hinge cross-sectional area which is smaller than a beam cross--sectional area such that as the device is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter, the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the beams are not plastically deformed.

Claims (8)

1. An expandable medical device comprising:
a plurality of elongated beams, the plurality of elongated beams joined together to form a substantially cylindrical device which is expandable from a first diameter to a second diameter; and a plurality of ductile hinges connecting the plurality of beams together in the substantially cylindrical device, wherein the hinge width is smaller than the beam width such that as the device is expanded from the first diameter to the second diameter the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the beams are not plastically deformed, the ductile hinges being asymmetrically configured to reach a predetermined strain level upon a first percentage of expansion and to reach the predetermined strain level upon a second percentage of compression, wherein the first percentage is larger than the second percentage.
2. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the ductile hinges have a first side surface placed in tension during compression of the device and a second side surface placed in tension during expansion of the device, wherein the first side surface is smaller than the second side surface.
3. The expandable medical device according to Claim 2, wherein the first side surface is an arcuate surface.
4. The expandable medical device according to Claim 2, wherein the second side surface is an arcuate surface.
5. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the hinge width is smaller than the hinge thickness.
6. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein a transition between the cross sectional area of the struts and the cross sectional area of the ductile hinges is an abrupt transition which extends less than 10 percent of a length of a strut.
7. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein a ratio of a length of the ductile hinges to a length of the axial struts is 1:6 or less.
8. The expandable medical device according to Claim 1, wherein the elongated struts include a beneficial agent for delivery to a patient.
