ABSTRACT:
An expandable medical device or component thereof including a tubular body formed of a wrapped sheet of porous polymeric material fused together, the tubular body having a fused seam at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body which changes along the length of the tubular body from a first angle to a second angle greater than the first angle. The sheet of porous polymeric material is wound and then fused together such that the winding angle is less in a first longitudinal section of the tubular body compared with the winding angle in a second longitudinal section of the tubular body, in order to provide the second section with greater resistance to expansion (i.e., lower compliance) than the first section.
