Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Percutaneous access devices (PAD) or other implantable medical devices formed with chain mail are provided. The use of chain mail allows for a flexible PAD that promotes the formation of natural biologic seals between the skin and the device to form a barrier to microbial invasion into the body. Percutaneous access devices may be used for cardiac assist systems, peritoneal dialysis catheters, Steinman pin, Kirschner wires, chronic indwelling venous access catheters that require skin penetration, and osseo-integrated percutaneous medical appliances. Unlike conventional chain mail that is only formed in two dimensional sheets, chain mail is formed in elongated linear chains with occasional interlinks, two dimensional sheets, and in other configurations and combinations including three dimensional structures, pendant petals, elongated linear chains, combined fractal structures having a non-integer dimensionality intermediate between 1 and 3, and combinations thereof. Chain mail may be formed of combinations of simpler structures to form higher-order structures.
