Endo-luminal implant

Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns an endo-luminal implant comprising a plurality of mutually independent support rings (11 to 14) which have a common axis and are each integral with a flexible structural peripheral side member (6) which extends at least in the longitudinal direction of the implant, from one end thereof to the other. The rings and the side member are produced from a single filament (1) which is shaped in three dimensions along a substantially closed continuous line which defines in space a substantially tubular enveloping surface, and an alternating line on either side of a circumferential median line (4) centred on said axis, defining at least three loops (a to f) in the tubular surface determined by the series of enveloping surfaces of the respective support rings (4).
