摘要:
A thin biocompatible high strength composite material is disclosed that is suitable for use in various implanted configurations. In one aspect 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 a porous expanded fluoropolymer membrane and an elastomer wherein the elastomer is present in substantially all of the pores of the porous expanded fluoropolymer and the composite material comprising less than about 80% fluoropolymer by weight.
