selective adhesion covered stent-graft, mandrel and method of making a stent-graft device

摘要

A method of making a stent-graft endoluminal including the steps of: placing a first cover element consisting of a biocompatible polymer on a surface (32); placing a radially expandable stent (46) on said first cover member (34) ; laying a layer of an adhesive material activatable on the first cover member and the stent (64); placing a second cover member composed of a biocompatible polymer on the stent (36); save a configuration electromagnetic energy, light or heat the stent-graft to activate eladhesivo forming a connection configuration between the cover elements (66), corresponding wing joints configuration electromagnetic, light or heat energy and allowing portions of the stent when the stent semuevan freely expand.
