Abstract
A spiral-based thin-film mesh for medical devices and related methods is provided. The spiral-based thin-film mesh may be used as a stent cover for a stent device. The thin-film mesh may include a plurality of spirals. The spirals allow the thin-film mesh to expand omni-directionally. In one or more embodiments, the spirals may be logarithmic spirals, golden spirals, approximated golden spirals, box Phi spirals, or Fibonacci spirals. The thin-film mesh may be formed from thin-film Nitinol (TFN), and may be fabricated via sputter deposition on a micropattemed wafer.
