Self-Sealing Ptfe Vascular Graft And Manufacturing Methods
view source
US Patent:

6428571, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:

Mar 14, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/525710
Inventors:

David Lentz - LaJolla CA
Jamie Henderson - Oakland NJ
Edward Dormier - Rockaway NJ
Richard Zdrahala - Eden Prairie MN
Gary Loomis - Morristown NJ
Ronald Rakos - Neshanic Station NJ
Krzysztof Sowinski - Wallington NJ
Assignee:

Scimed Life Systems, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:

A61F 206
US Classification:

623 14
Abstract:

An implantable microporous ePTFE tubular vascular graft exhibits long term patency, superior radial tensile strength and suture hole elongation resistance. The graft includes a first ePTFE tube and a second ePTFE tube circumferentially disposed over the first tube. The first ePTFE tube exhibits a porosity sufficient to promote cell endothelization, tissue ingrowth and healing. The second ePTFE tube exhibits enhanced radial strength in excess of the radial tensile strength of the first tube.

US Patent:

6530765, Mar 11, 2003
Filed:

Jun 16, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/595548
Inventors:

Richard J. Zdrahala - Montville NJ
Nick Popadiuk - Hillsborough NJ
David J. Lentz - Randolph NJ
Edward J. Dormier - Rockaway NJ
Assignee:

Meadox Medicals, Inc. - Oakland NJ
International Classification:

B29C 4724
US Classification:

425144, 425381, 4253781, 425467
Abstract:

An improved method and apparatus is provided for extruding ePTFE tube for use in medical applications. A tube of PTFE is extruded, preferably in an extrusion process, using counter-rotated die components. The die component is maintained at a constant temperature during processing. The resulting green tube has enhanced fibrous state formation in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extrusion. The PTFE green tube is then subjected to secondary operations such as stretching and expansion to yield medical product. The ePTFE tube structure is defined by nodes interconnected by elongate fibrils. Both the nodes and fibrils are substantially randomly tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube. This particular structure yields a tube which exhibits a high degree of radial tear strength useful in medical applications.

US Patent:

7044961, May 16, 2006
Filed:

Sep 21, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/957964
Inventors:

David J. Lentz - Randolph NJ, US
Edward Dormier - Rockaway NJ, US
Assignee:

Meadox Medicals, Inc. - Oakland NJ
International Classification:

A61F 2/82
US Classification:

623 113, 623 117
Abstract:

An implantable intraluminal device includes a multilayer composite tubular device supporting one or more stents between the layer thereof. A first porous elongate tube includes an exterior surface and an interior luminal surface. A radially expandable member is disposed about the exterior surface of the first tube. A second porous elongate tube is disposed concentrically over the first tube and is secured thereto so that the radially expandable member is longitudinally immobilized therebetween.

US Patent:

56074786, Mar 4, 1997
Filed:

Mar 14, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/616047
Inventors:

David J. Lentz - Randolph NJ
Nick Popadiuk - Hillsborough NJ
Peter Schmitt - Garnerville NY
Edward J. Dormier - Rockaway NJ
Richard J. Zdrahala - Montville NJ
Assignee:

Meadox Medicals Inc. - Oakland NJ
International Classification:

A61F 204
A61F 206
US Classification:

623 12
Abstract:

An implantable microporous ePTFE tubular vascular graft exhibits long-term patency, superior radial tensile strength, reduction in tear propagation, and increases in suture retention strength and crush resistance. The graft includes an ePTFE tubular structure having a preselected microporous structure. The tubular structure is wrapped externally with a PTFE yarn in a helical fashion. The helical wrap of yarn is bonded to the exterior surface of the tubular structure by application of heat or heat in combination with force to form a composite structure which substantially maintains the porosity of the underlying tubular structure while increasing the suture retention strength, radial tensile strength, crush resistance, and tear propagation resistance.
