A medical device, having a body that is tubular at least in some sections. The body can be transferred from a compressed state into an expanded state and has a circumferential wall having at least one first lattice structure and one second lattice structure. The first lattice structure and the second lattice structure form separate layers of the circumferential wall, which are arranged coaxially one inside the other and connected to each other at least at points in such a way that the first lattice structure and the second lattice structure can be moved relative to each other at least in some sections. A system having such a device is also disclosed.

Medical device and system having such a device

The invention relates to a medical implant, particularly a stent, having a wall () braided out of multiple wires () said wall extending along a longitudinal axis L and curving around the longitudinal axis L at least in sections, wherein in each case at least two wire ends () of the wires () are connected to at least two first braid ends () forming a first circumferential section () of the wall () extending around the longitudinal axis L. The invention is characterised in that in each case at least two first braid ends () are connected to one or more second braid ends (), wherein the second braid ends () form a second circumferential section () of the wall () extending around the longitudinal axis L and following the first circumferential section () in sequence in the longitudinal direction or the second braid ends () are arranged in the circumferential direction U of the wall ().
