Abstract

Implantable devices including conduits that have markings along the length of the conduit are described herein.

Claims (21)

1 . An implantable device comprising:

a plastically deformable conduit comprising a continuous sheet of a biocompatible polymer, the plastically deformable conduit having an outer surface having a length;

wherein the plastically deformable conduit has a plurality of radiopaque markings displaying a conduit length, a conduit orientation, a conduit diameter, or a combination thereof; and

wherein the plastically deformable conduit is configured to be expanded from a pre-expansion state having a pre-expansion inner diameter to a post-expansion state having a post-expansion inner diameter.

2 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising an additional component disposed within the plastically deformable conduit.

3 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising an additional component disposed over the outer surface of the plastically deformable conduit.

4 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising an additional component comprising one or more anticoagulants.

5 . The implantable device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more anticoagulants are selected from the group consisting of coumadin, heparin, a heparin derivative, a Factor Xa inhibitor, a direct thrombin inhibitor, hementin, sintered porous titanium microspheres, and a combination thereof.

6 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising a stent.

7 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more letters on the outer surface of the plastically deformable conduit.

8 . The implantable device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more letters are individually radiopaque.

9 . The implantable device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more letters are visible.

10 . The implantable device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more numbers on the outer surface of the plastically deformable conduit.

11 . The implantable device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more numbers are individually radiopaque.

12 . The implantable device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more numbers are visible.

13 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible polymer comprises a fluoropolymer.

14 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein the plastically deformable conduit has a yield strength of about 0.1 MPa to about 4 MPa.

15 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein the plastically deformable conduit further comprises a valve.

16 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein the plastically deformable conduit has an internode distance of about 10 μm to about 40 μm.

17 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein a suture retention strength of the plastically deformable conduit increases when the plastically deformable conduit is expanded from the pre-expansion state to the post-expansion state.

18 . The implantable device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of radiopaque markings provide an indication as to whether any kinking or compression has occurred in the plastically deformable conduit.
