An expandable issue supporting device of the present invention employs ductile hinges at selected points in the expandable device. When expansion forces are applied to the device as a whole, the ductile hinges concentrate expansion stresses and strains in small well defined areas. The expandable medical device including ductile hinges provides the advantages of low expansion force requirements, relatively thick walls which are radio-opaque, improved crimping properties, high crush strength, reduced elastic recoil after implantation, and control of strain to a desired level. The expandable tissue supporting device includes a plurality of elongated beams arranged in a cylindrical device and connected together by a plurality of ductile hinges. Although many ductile hinge configurations are possible, the ductile hinges preferably have a substantially constant hinge cross sectional area which is smaller than a beam cross sectional area such that as the device is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter, the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the beams are not plastically deformed.
What is claimed is: 1. An expandable medical device which is visible in x-ray and fluoroscope images, the device comprising:a plurality of struts arranged to form an expandable cylindrical tube, the struts each having a strut width in a circumferential direction and a strut thickness in a radial dir
What is claimed is: 1. An expandable medical device which is visible in x-ray and fluoroscope images, the device comprising:a plurality of struts arranged to form an expandable cylindrical tube, the struts each having a strut width in a circumferential direction and a strut thickness in a radial direction; anda plurality of ductile hinges connecting the plurality of struts, the ductile hinges each having a hinge thickness in the radial direction and a hinge width, wherein the strut thickness and the hinge thickness are each at least 0.003 inches (0.0762 mm), the ductile hinges each having a substantially constant width along a portion of a hinge length, said hinge length portion being at least ⅓ of a total hinge length, and wherein the ratio of the hinge thickness to the hinge width at said hinge length portion is at least 2:1;wherein the hinge width is smaller than the strut width such that as the device is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the struts are not plastically deformed.
