  • Radially expandable tubular polytetrafluoroethylene grafts and method of making same
    Patent number: 6039755
    Abstract: Tubular ePTFE materials which are capable of being radially expanded under the influence of a radially outward force applied from the lumen of the ePTFE tubular material to substantially uniformly radially deform the ePTFE material. The ePTFE material is radially expandable to a diameter 700% its unexpanded diameter under the influence of pressures less than 6 atm while retaining the structural integrity of the ePTFE microstructure. Conservation of the structural integrity of the ePTFE material is determined by conservation of the ePTFE microstructure structural integrity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2000
    Assignee: Impra, Inc., a Division of C.R. Bard, Inc.

  • Radially expandable vascular graft with resistance to longitudinal compression and method of making same
    Patent number: 5628786
    Abstract: A microporous polytetrafluoroethylene ("PTFE") endovascular graft which has a reinforcing structure integrally bound to the graft which permits radial expansion of the graft and stabilizes the graft against longitudinal compression upon application of an axial force thereto and against axial foreshortening upon radial expansion of the graft. The graft is particularly useful as a covering for an endovascular stent.
