  • Patent number: 9243353
    Abstract: Provided is a stent graft that has superior prevention of endoleakage due to being resistant to creasing, and has superior prevention of graft migration as a result of promoting cell infiltration into gaps among microfibers in a dispersed state and forming an integrated structure with the cells in the landing zone of the stent. The stent graft according to the present invention is a stent graft comprising a stent graft fabric that has microfiber bundles consisting essentially of microfilaments having a filament linear density of 0.5 dtex or less, and said microfiber bundles having a total linear density of 10 to 60 dtex/120 to 3000 filaments, for the warp and/or weft, and in which the porosity of the microfiber bundles is 30% to 95%, wherein said stent graft has said stent graft fabric being located in at least 1 cm range from the central end.

  • Patent number: 4958014
    Abstract: A multi-cellular cellulose particle having a multiplicity of cells spaced from one another by cell membranes is described, which cells have a maximum inscribed sphere diameter of larger than 2 .mu.m. The cells have a continuous hole structure in which the cells communicate with one another through openings in the membranes separating two adjacent cells. The multi-cellular cellulose particle is prepared by forming drops of a solution of cellulose or a cellulose derivative, cooling the drops at a temperature lower than the solidification temperature of the solution to freeze the drops, and removing the solvent by extraction or nullifying the dissolving power of the solvent.
