Provided is a textile vascular prosthesis having various properties required of it and having a repair function that is similar to that of blood vessels in a living body and relies on spontaneous healing ability of a human body. The inner layer-covering rate C (%) is defined by the formula: C = W 1 × D 1 + W 2 × D 2 × 25.4 ˆ’ W 1 × W 2 × D 1 × D 2 / 25.4 × 25.4 × 100 , where D1 is the warp density (ends/25.4 mm) of an outer layer, D2 is the weft density (picks/25.4 mm) of the outer layer, W1 is the apparent width (mm) of a warp yarn of the outer layer, and W2 is the apparent width (mm) of a weft yarn of the outer layer. The inner layer-covering rate C (%), representing the coverage of an inner layer formed of warp yarn 3 and weft yarn 4 by the outer layer formed of warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2, is 15% ‰¤ C ‰¤ 75%.

A method of braiding a stent (24) includes braiding a number of elongate filaments (20) around a mandrel (22) using tensioned braiding carriers (14, 14') without spooling the filaments (20) to the tensioned braiding carriers (14, 14') to form a braided stent (24) having atraumatic ends (36, 38, 39).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a stent comprising one or more elongated wires braided to form a tubular stent having a retrieval and/or repositioning member and an opposed first open end and a second open end with each open end having a circumference and a tubular body therebetween, the first open end defined by a series of closed-end loops, the retrieval and/or repositioning member having a first section including at least one elongated closed-end loop extending from the first open end and a second section emerging from the braided tubular body, the second section interwoven with at least one closed-end loop of the series of closed-end loops and integrally extending into the first section whereby force exerted on the elongated closed-end loop causes radial contraction of the tubular stent.
摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-profile stent graft which has a Type-III endoleak suppression effect, avoiding the problem with a stent graft which uses an extra-thin graft incurring enlarged needle holes or needle hole parts in a suture part. A stent graft according to the present invention comprises a proximate end, a distal end, and a lumen which is positioned between the proximate end and the distal end. The stent graft is formed by coupling a cylindrical graft to a stent with a suture. The cylindrical graft is formed from a fabric having a thickness of 10-90 µm. The elastic modulus of the suture is 40 cN/dtex or less.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an artificial blood vessel which is able to retain mechanical properties required for an artificial blood vessel, rarely undergoes the formation of thrombi when grafted into a blood vessel having a small or medium diameter, and has such an excellent cell colonization property that endothelial cells can be colonized rapidly to form an endothelial tissue. Thus, the present invention provides an artificial blood vessel comprising a tubular woven fabric which is composed of at least two types of polyester fibers, i.e., a multifilament yarn A and a multifilament yarn B, and has an inner diameter of 8 mm or less and a layer thickness of 50 µm or more and 250 µm or less, wherein the multifilament yarn A has a single fiber fineness of 1.0 dtex or more and a total fineness of 33 dtex or less, the multifilament yarn B has a single fiber fineness of 0.08 dtex or less and a total fineness of 66 dtex or less, and the multifilament yarn B forms loops on the inner wall surface of the composite tubular woven fabric.
摘要:
A generally tubular braided flow diverting stent is formed of alternating round and rectangular elongated members, for treatment of aneurysms. The generally tubular braided flow diverting stent maintains a significant wall thickness while increasing area coverage of a vessel wall. Sliding of the round elongated members over the rectangular elongated members allows the stent to be crimped to very low diameters for delivery in narrow portions of the vasculature.
摘要:
A non-compliant high strength balloon (10) includes a reinforcement member (30) formed of a sleeve of woven or braided strengthening elements (32, 34). There are provided circumferential strengthening elements (32) which are pre-tensed in order to remove any undulations within the strengthening elements (32) and to ensure that these have a precise annular size. On the other hand, the longitudinal strengthening elements (34) have undulations therein. The pre-tensing of the strengthening elements (32) ensures that the balloon will not stretch during pressurisation thereof, which can occur when the circumferential strengthening elements have undulations therein, which will be natural artefacts of a weaving or braiding process. The undulations in the longitudinal strengthening elements (34) provides the balloon with increased longitudinal flexibility.
