    摘要： A radially expandable support body is enveloped within a cocoon. In a preferred construction, the support is a stent, and a tube of polymeric material, e.g. polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), passes through the interior of the stent body and is turned back upon itself over the stent to form a cuff. The assembly is then heated and the outer layer contacts and coalesces with the inner layer, closely surrounding the stent body within a folded envelope having a continuous and seamless end. In one embodiment, an end portion of the tube is expanded before folding back over the stent. The end portion, which becomes an exterior surface of the finished product, thus acquires a greater degree of porosity. Each end of the central tube may be so expanded, and folded back to seal all surfaces and both ends. The stent body itself may be a ring, or a short series of spaced-apart rings, or a wire or web, or a sheet possessing a number of apertures extending entirely through the sheet. The spaces or apertures are covered over or bridged by both the inner and outer polymer layers. The apertures, which may comprise under five to over eighty percent of the surface area of the stent, constitute regions or a grid of points through which the material is coalesced and continuously bonded, and around which strain is distributed by the support. These points or regions remain tacked together so expansion of the assembly does not delaminate the polymer or create flaps and pockets. In another embodiment, a two tube construction is cuffed and assembled into a similarly unitized and seamless stent. One tube is cuffed back, and the other tube covers the cuffed stent. In this embodiment both the tube thicknesses and porosities may differ substantially. For example the inner porosity may be selected to enhance blood flow or intimal regeneration, and the outer surface may have a porosity to encourage anchoring to external muscle tissue.

    摘要： A method of making a radially expandable fluid delivery device includes providing a tube of biocompatible fluoropolymer material with a predetermined porosity based on an extrusion and expansion forming process, applying a radial expansion force to the tube expanding the tube to a predetermined diameter dimension, and removing the radial expansion force. The tube is radially inelastic while sufficiently pliable to be collapsible and inflatable from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration upon introduction of an inflation force, such that the expanded configuration occurs upon inflation to the predetermined diameter dimension. The fluid delivery device is constructed of a microporous, biocompatible fluoropolymer material having a microstructure that can provide a controlled, uniform, low-velocity fluid distribution through the walls of the fluid delivery device to effectively deliver fluid to the treatment site without damaging tissue proximate the walls of the device.

    摘要： A radially expandable device having a body constructed of a generally inelastic, expanded fluoropolymer material is described. The body is deployable upon application of a radial expansion force from a reduced diameter, collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration having a pre-defined and fixed increased diameter. The body has a singular, unitary construction of generally homogenous material that is characterized by a seamless construction of expanded fluoropolymer material, such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), and is preferably constructed through an extrusion and expansion process. The body is further characterized by a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils in which substantially all the nodes of the body are oriented generally perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the body. The monolithic construction of the body and the orientation of the nodes, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, yields a radially expandable device that predictably and dependably expands to a predefined, fixed maximum diameter that is generally independent of the expansion force used to radially expand the device. In addition, the microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils provides at least one predetermined flow rate of fluid therethrough over a range of fluid pressures.
