Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide cut-pattern designs for creating a frame structure from a solid tube, which may be used as a portion of medical device, such as a catheter.SOLUTION: A tube includes a plurality of units of cutout segments which are distributed in band around a circumference of the tube. The tube can have multiple different zones, each having units with varying cutout segments. The cutout segments can have varying cutout surface area allowing the flexibility of the tube to be modified at any point along the tube. By modifying the cutout surface area, a zone having a greater cutout surface area as compared to another zone is more flexible. The tube can be incorporated into a catheter.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2A (Grant)
