Claims20
A method for producing a liner of a vessel, the method comprising the steps of:
- disposing a first vessel penetration element into a die having a cavity formed therein;
- injecting a first moldable material into the cavity to form a first portion of a preform, wherein the first portion of the preform substantially surrounds at least a portion of the vessel penetration element;
- injecting a second moldable material into the cavity to form a second portion of the preform;
- and
- forming the preform into a hollow liner.
