<；P>；PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stent which is easily recovered from inside of a body. <；P>；SOLUTION: The stent 10 is equipped with a cylindrical part 12 formed by circular-knitting (weft knitting) a single wire (a wire) 11, and one end 11a of the single wire 11 extends from the cylindrical part 12 to form a free end. The cylindrical part 12 is constituted by forming loop-knitted stitches 16 which are arranged to continue in a spiral manner, and the loop-stitches are alternately intertwined with the other knitted stitches, which are adjacent in the direction of a central axis line C, in the radial direction to keep a loop shape. As a result, the stent 10 has a uniform inner diameter when external force is not applied. <；P>；COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
