  • Adventitial fabric reinforced porous prosthetic graft
    Publication number: 20030055494
    Abstract: A vascular prosthesis is constructed of an inner porous tube which allows uninterrupted cellular growth and which is connected to an adventitial sock surrounding the porous tube. The adventitial sock produces a non-linear elastic response to stress-strain on the prosthesis to optimize compliance and prevent over dilatation.
