FIBROUS TUBULAR CONSTRUCT FOR STENTING APPLICATIONS

The present invention provides graft, in particular for inducing autologous tissue formation, comprising: an expandable construct made out of a fibrous network, wherein the fibrous network distinguishes:(i) a first state with a first geometrical dimension of the construct determined by a first fiber orientation characterized by a first fiber dispersion and a first main angle difference, and a first average fiber diameter, and(ii) a second state with a second geometrical dimension of the construct determined by a second fiber orientation characterized by a second fiber dispersion and a second main angle difference, and a second average fiber diameter,wherein the transition from the first state to the second state is accommodated only by rearrangement of the fibers in the fibrous network.
