US Patent:

7622070, Nov 24, 2009

Filed:

Jun 20, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/157145

Inventors:

Svava Maria Atladottir - Burlingame CA, US
David C. Gale - San Jose CA, US
Klaus Kleine - Los Gatos CA, US

Assignee:

Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

B26D 3/10
B26D 7/01
A61F 2/06

US Classification:

264400, 264482, 21912167, 623 138

Abstract:

A polymeric tube is positioned on a polymeric mandrel and then laser cut to form an implantable medical device, such as a stent. The method reduces contamination of the inner surface of the stent, which would be caused if conventional glass or metal mandrels are used, while simultaneously reducing damage to the inner surface of the stent due to the shielding effect of the polymeric mandrel.

Assignee:

Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H05B 6/00

US Classification:

264454, 264535, 264482, 264294

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for fabricating a stent, the method comprising: positioning a polymeric tube inside a mold, wherein a high thermally conductive element covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the mold, the high thermally conductive element having a thermal conductivity that is greater than that of the mold; heating at least a portion of the mold; radially expanding the tube against the mold; and fabricating a stent from the radially expanded tube.

Inventors:

Svava Maria Atladottir - Burlingame CA, US
David C. Gale - San Jose CA, US
Klaus Kleine - Los Gatos CA, US

International Classification:

B23Q 1/00

US Classification:

269 47

Abstract:

A polymeric tube is positioned on a polymeric mandrel and then laser cut to form an implantable medical device, such as a stent. The assembly and method reduces contamination of the inner surface of the stent, which would be caused if conventional glass or metal mandrels are used, while simultaneously reducing damage to the inner surface of the stent due to the shielding effect of the polymeric mandrel.
