The composite material maintains flexibility in high-cycle flexural applications, making it particularly applicable to high-flex implants such as heart pacing lead or heart valve leaflet. The composite material includes more than one porous fluoropolymer layer and a copolymer filling substantially all of the pores of the more than one porous fluoropolymer layers. 10275138_1 (GHMatters) P101607.AU802 802 802 A FIG9A 802 800-802 802 I 9 B-12/43
