IMPLANT FABRICATION USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOVEN FABRIC
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a docking device involves implementing a three-dimensional (3D) weaving technique to form a 3D textile structure using a plurality of different types of fibers, heating the 3D textile structure on a shape-setting mold at a temperature above a melting point of a first type of fiber of the plurality of different types of fibers to set a cylindrical shape of the 3D textile structure, maintaining the 3D textile structure on the shape-setting mold to cool off for a period of time, and removing the 3D textile structure from the shape-setting mold.
