ABSTRACT:
A high strength, porous PTFE sheet material having high strength in all directions within the plane of the sheet material. The sheet material has, within the plane of the sheet, a higher minimum tensile strength, matrix tensile strength, secant modulus and matrix secant modulus than previously known porous PTFE sheet materials. The sheet material is a laminate of multiple layers of porous PTFE film, preferably uniaxially expanded film, wherein the orientation of the direction of the fibrils of any layer varies slightly, such as about ten degrees, from the orientation of the fibrils of the adjacent layer. The sheet material is particularly useful as a surgical repair patch and especially as a blood vessel repair patch because of its high strength, flexibility, biocompatibility and very low rate of suture line bleeding.
