  • Radiopaque ePTFE medical devices
    Patent number: 8088158
    Abstract: A radiopaque implantable prosthesis including a polymeric prosthesis made from ePTFE having a node and fibril structure and a radiopaque filler integral with at least a portion of the node and fibril structure of the ePTFE. A method of making the prosthesis is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2012
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventor: Christopher Brian Brodeur
  • Composite tubular prostheses
    Patent number: 6945991
    Abstract: A tubular implantable prosthesis is formed of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. The tubular prosthesis includes a substantially continuous ePTFE tubular first body and perimetrically non-continuous second tubular body. A circumferentially deformable support structure is interposed between the inner and outer tubular bodies. The second tubular body is formed of a plurality of elongate PTFE strips. The strips are secured to the first body and arranged longitudinally in a non-overlapping relationship. The prosthesis provides for both axial and radial compliance.

  • Composite vascular graft
    Publication number: 20040054397
    Abstract: A composite stent/graft tubular prosthesis includes an inner PTFE tubular structure, an outer PTFE tubular structure assembled about the inner PTFE tubular structure, and a circumferentially distensible stent interposed between the inner and outer PTFE tubular structures. The outer tubular body is a non-continuous body formed of polytetrafluoroethylene components, providing axial and circumferential compliance to said prosthesis. The outer tubular body completely overlies the distensible stent.
