Provided is a stent graft that has superior prevention of endoleakage due to being resistant to creasing, and has superior prevention of graft migration as a result of promoting cell infiltration into gaps among microfibers in a dispersed state and forming an integrated structure with the cells in the landing zone of the stent. The stent graft according to the present invention is a stent graft comprising a stent graft fabric that has microfiber bundles consisting essentially of microfilaments having a filament linear density of 0.5 dtex or less, and said microfiber bundles having a total linear density of 10 to 60 dtex/120 to 3000 filaments, for the warp and/or weft, and in which the porosity of the microfiber bundles is 30% to 95%, wherein said stent graft has said stent graft fabric being located in at least 1 cm range from the central end.

The present invention relates to a prosthesis comprising one or more bioabsorbable substances insolubilized and/or immobilized in place by a physical method which excludes chemical reagents. A growth factor can be bound to the bioabsorbable substance for simulating growth of, for example, fibroblast and endothelial cells, around and into the prosthesis. The invention can include a porous fabric substrate having the bioabsorbable substance(s) insolubilized and immobilized therewithin by one or more of the physical methods. The physical method can include entanglement, dry-up, thermal crosslinkng, gamma irradiation, ultraviolet irradiation, or swelling up by hyper hydration with electric charge. The invention excludes the use of conventional chemical reagents, such as glutaraldehyde or formaldehyde, which are toxic. Since the invention does not use the chemical reagents of the prior art, it can avoid the toxicity and foreign body reaction problems associated therewith. The prosthesis of the invention does not have blood leakage and provides an excellent antithrombogenicity by rapid completion of neointima formation with endothelial cell lining at an early stage after implantation.

This invention concerns a production process of an antithrombogenic and antiadhesive material which can favorably be used as artificial blood vessels, artificial valves, grafting patches for cardiovascular organs, artificial heart catheters and so on. The gist of this invention is constructed substantially of subjecting glycidyltrialkylammonium halide such as glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride to the reaction with a material comprising pure collagen or collagen and other components like mucopolysaccharide in order to introduce a cationic quaternary functional group in collagen molecules of the material and then subjecting heparin to the ionic combination with the cationic functional group introduced. Meanwhile, in advance of the above chemical treatment, the material is prepared from dog's blood vessel by removing proteins except collagen, from cow's Achilles tendon by crushing into powder, from human amnion by rinsing in distilled water or from polyester knit tube by coating its inside with powdered collagen, for example.

The present invention discloses a fistula formation-inducing material having a property of forming a fistula wherein cells are exposed on at least a portion of the fistula luminal surface. This material can be inserted into a living body, using a hollow tubular member, as desired. As a result, there is provided a fistula formation-inducing material which allows the formation of a fistula, reliably lined by host cells, in a living body.

摘要:
This invention relates to a hemostatic agent used in surgical operations, which can be produced in two ways: one blending collagen/gelatin with protamine, the other blending collagen/gelatin with protamine and a bi-functional cross-linking agent so as to make said collagen/gelatin have a covalent bond with said protamine. The produced hemostatic agent can stop bleeding within far less time than a conventional hemostatic agent made out of pure collagen.
摘要:
An antithrombogenic medical material with a remarkable antithrombogenic property and histocompatibility as well as sufficient physical strength, formed by fixing a heparinized collagen to a synthetic polymer material is provided. And a method of preparing an antithrombogenic medical material is provided, wherein a synthetic polymer material is subjected to a coating or impregnating treatment with a collagen-containing solution, followed by heparinization of the collagen, and the heparinized collagen is fixed to the synthetic polymer material. This method allows manufacturing of antithrombogenic medical material with ease.
