<p>Provided is a stent that possesses the rigidity and flexibility required to function as a stent. The stent (10) has a nonwoven fabric structure constituted by fibers (14). More specifically, in this stent, the fibers are oriented either regularly or irregularly, and masses of the fibers are formed from the fibers that are bonded to each other or interlaced either through a mechanical, chemical, thermal, or other procedure or without employing such procedures. The fibers in the stent are constituted by a biodegradable material. Further, the stent is structured such that sheet-form fiber masses having a nonwoven fabric structure are laminated in a radial direction of the stent.</p> |
