ABSTRACT:
An endoluminal delivery system is provided having an endoluminal prosthesis sized to fit through a body lumen in a first unexpanded state, where a second state is an expanded relative to the first state. At least one delivery capsule is incorporated to the outer wall of the endoluminal prosthesis, where each one of the delivery capsules has a predetermined delivery pressure. There is at least one reactant in the delivery capsule, where the endoluminal prosthesis is expanded from the first state to the second state to expand the endoluminal prosthesis against the body lumen and induce the predetermined delivery pressure to the delivery capsule, and deliver the reactants to the body lumen according to desired positioning and timing. At least one containment band incorporated to the outer wall of the endoluminal prosthesis and positioned near the delivery capsules to localize the reactants.
