MEDICAL DEVICE FOR INSERTION INTO A HOLLOW ORGAN AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A DEVICE
First Claim
1. A medical device for insertion into a hollow organ, comprising a hollow body that has a braid of wire elements with a series of terminal meshes which delimit an axial braid end, wherein the terminal meshes comprise outer wire elements, which form a terminating edge of the braid and merge into inner wire elements arranged within the braid, wherein a first section of the terminating edge and a second section of the terminating edge each have several outer wire elements which together form a peripheral margin of the terminating edge, which peripheral margin is adapted in such a way that the axial braid end of the hollow body can be refracted into a delivery system, whereinthe outer wire elements of the first section for forming the terminating edge are arranged directly one after another along the latter and each have a first axial component AK1, which extends in the longitudinal direction L of the hollow body, andthe outer wire elements of the second section for forming the terminating edge are arranged directly one after another along the latter and each have a second axial component AK2, which extends in the longitudinal direction L of the hollow body and is counter to the first axial component AK1, wherein the two axial components AK1, AK2 are in relation to the same rotation direction ULR of the margin.

Abstract
A medical device for insertion into a hollow organ, the device having a hollow body that has a braid of wire elements having a series of terminal meshes which delimit an axial braid end, wherein the terminal meshes have outer wire elements forming a terminating edge of the braid and transition into inner wire elements arranged within the braid. The device is characterised in that a first section of the terminating edge and a second section of the terminating edge each have several outer wire elements which form together a peripheral edge of the terminating edge, which is adjusted such that the axial braid end of the hollow body can be refracted into a supply system. A method for producing such a device is also disclosed.
