Abstract
A radially expandable flexible body lumen stent is composed of a series of longitudinally adjacent cylindrical wraps. Each wrap is defined by a continuous wire that forms a plurality of loops. The longitudinally adjacent wraps are connected to one another by selected ones of the loops of each wrap engaging loops of an adjacent wrap. This limited coupling between wraps provides restraint on the longitudinal motion of the wraps relative to one another yet maintains stent flexibility so that the stent can be passed through and/or positioned in tortuous lumens of the body.
