Zusammenfassung:A tubular or non-tubular implant or prosthetic is provided to prevent or mitigate infection when implanted into a living body. The implant or prosthetic includes a textile layer comprising a plurality of interstices and/or pores and defining an interfacing surface and an opposing surface. The implant or prosthetic also includes a sealing layer comprising a non-porous, non-organic polymer adhered to the interfacing surface. The non-porous, non-organic polymer is formed of a material configured to prevent transmission or migration of bacteria through the sealing layer. The implant or prosthetic may also be configured to be anti-wetting and therefore provide for easier explantation from the body, to protect the textile layer from damage from electrocautery energy, and also to prevent leakage as well as transmural communication or migration through the graft body or wall while still allowing ingrowth of tissue along at least a portion of implant or prosthetic for secured anchoring.
