Abstract: The present invention relates a vascular prosthesis and related assembly methods that includes a plurality of modular segments inter-engaged by flexible, and preferably lockable, inter-engageable elements forming joints or other connector areas. The segments may have a number of different mechanical properties and may be assembled by the clinician, through mechanical or chemical joining, to customize the prosthesis for a specific patient or application.

Abstract: In one aspect, a spin-rinse-dry chamber comprises an adjustable nozzle. A calibration element may be positioned in the spin-rinse-dry chamber at which the adjustable nozzle may be directed. Targets (for example cross-hairs in one embodiment) may be located on the calibration element at a position corresponding to where it is desired to direct a fluid flow from the adjustable nozzle. Another aspect provides a method of calibrating a spin-rinse-dry chamber having an adjustable nozzle comprising inserting a calibration element having a similar contour as a substrate into the spin-rinse-dry chamber. Fluid is then directed through the adjustable nozzle at a selected target position located on the surface of the calibration element.
