Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2847155A1] The tubular implant manufacturing procedure uses a single metal wire (11), 0.15 - 0.5 mm in diameter, of an alloy with a shape memory effect, especially a nickel-titanium alloy such as nitinol, wound in interlaced spirals over a perforated cylindrical template (1) with end pegs (3) for loops (12). The completed implant is deformed into the required shape and then treated to stabile it in that position. The deformation can be to reduce or increase the implant's diameter for use as a stent, or to create a more or less flat collar for an implant used to plug a hole in a body wall.
