Patent abstract
A composite multi-layer material may generally comprise a d-PTFE material combined with an open structured material (either resorbable or non-resorbable) creating a composite multi-layer material. Attachment of the layers may be accomplished by stitching layers of material, exertion of hydraulic or other pressure, application of a biocompatible adhesive or heat, or some combination of the foregoing. Use of a d-PTFE, unexpanded material has multiple alternative uses, including without limitation, placement on the visceral side of a hernia that may minimize or even eliminate the incidence of abdominal adhesions. Alternatively, the material may be used to create tubing sufficient as a graft for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms.
