The grid structure is provided at least in certain portions with a covering made of an electrospun fabric which has pores of irregular sizes. The covering includes over a surface area of 100 000 μm2 at least 10 pores which have a size of at least 15 μm2. The covering has a biocompatible, in particular antithrombogenic and/or endothelialization-promoting coating.
