  • SYNTHETIC PROSTHETIC VALVE LEAFLET
    Publication number: 20190125527
    Abstract: Thin, biocompatible, high-strength, composite materials are disclosed that are suitable for use in medical devices, such as a prosthetic valve for regulating blood flow direction. In one aspect, the leaflet material maintains flexibility in high-cycle flexural applications, making it particularly applicable to high-flex implants such as a prosthetic heart valve leaflet. The leaflet material includes a coating of a non-elastomeric TFE-PMVE copolymer.
