In a stent intended for implantation in a living body and having a bridge structure in which at least two bridges are coupled to one another at at least one node region on at least one of the bridges near the node region, the section modulus of the bridge varies along the length thereof, and the stresses arising at the node region upon deformation of the stent are distributed in the longitudinal direction of the bridge.

Stent having a bridge structure

A flexible shaft () to be inserted into a channel of a living body provided with a plurality of adjacently abutting cells (), the walls () of which are formed from wall sections. For this reason the flexible shaft (), which is particularly cost-effective to produce and which demonstrates high flexibility paired with ample stability, is constructed such that in at least one cell () in the cross-section of the wall () a concave wall section () is circumferentially alternated with a corresponding neighboring convex wall section ().
