Abstract
This invention deals with a composite vascular construct, which is formed of a first, blood contacting component and a second, tissue contacting component. Preferably, the present vascular constructs are in the form of a vascular patch or vascular graft with surface-activated, non-absorbable fabric with immobilized biomolecules on the blood contacting surface, and an absorbable, compliant film or microporous sheath on the other surface of the non-absorbable component of the composite graft or patch.
Claims21
A composite vascular construct comprising a first, blood-contacting component and a second, tissue-contacting component, the first component comprising a load bearing textile construct having an activated, blood compatible surface, the second component comprising an absorbable construct for tissue ingrowth, wherein at least one of the first and second components has at least transient occlusive properties.
