Patent ID: 11850172

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to medical devices for facilitating the flow of fluids and materials in and/or between adjacent body lumens, for example, a stent which maintains an open flow passage between body lumens. In one example, a stent may comprise an elongate body configured to be expandable between a first constrained configuration and a second unconstrained configuration. In the unconstrained configuration, the body may have a first retention member, a second retention member, and a cylindrical saddle region defining a lumen extending along a longitudinal axis therebetween. The first retention member or the second retention member, or both, may comprise a double-walled flange with an axially inward wall and axially outward wall, a portion of the inward wall bending towards a vertical center plane of the saddle region along the longitudinal axis.
