dc.description.abstractVarious stents comprising cells having substantially zero Poisson's ratio are disclosed. According to a disclosed embodiment, there is provided a stent, comprising: a tubular frame formed from a non-woven network of open cells, wherein the frame comprises a plurality of cells that each have a Poisson’s ratio of substantially zero, such that extension or contraction of the cell in a first direction is accompanied by substantially no change in the average width of the cell perpendicular to the first direction.en_GB
