The present invention relates to tissue-supporting medical devices and drug delivery systems, and more particularly to tubular flexible stents that are implanted within a body lumen of a living animal or human to support the organ, maintain patency and/or deliver drugs or agents. The tubular flexible stent has a cylindrical shape defining a longitudinal axis and includes a helical section having of a plurality of longitudinally oriented strut members and a plurality of circumferentially oriented hinge members connecting circumferentially adjacent strut members to form a band. The band is wrapped about the longitudinal axis in a substantially helical manner to form a plurality of helical windings. At least one connector member extends between longitudinally adjacent helical windings of the band.

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs médicaux de support tissulaire et des systèmes d'administration de médicaments, et plus particulièrement des stents souples tubulaires qui sont implantés dans une lumière corporelle d'un animal ou d'un humain vivant pour soutenir l'organe, conserver la perméabilité et/ou administrer des médicaments ou des agents. Ledit stent possède une forme cylindrique définissant un axe longitudinal et comprend une section hélicoïdale comportant une pluralité d'éléments d'entretoise orientés longitudinalement et une pluralité d'éléments d'articulation orientés de façon périphérique raccordant de façon périphérique les éléments d'entretoise adjacents pour former une bande. La bande est enroulée autour de l'axe longitudinal d'une manière sensiblement hélicoïdale pour former une pluralité d'enroulements hélicoïdaux. Au moins un élément de raccord s'étend entre les enroulements hélicoïdaux longitudinalement adjacents de la bande.
