ABSTRACT:
In one aspect the present invention provides medical devices10that each include a plurality of fibers22, substantially all of the plurality of fibers22each including a portion having a maximum diameter of at least five micrometers, wherein substantially all of fibers22form a layer on at least one external surface of medical device10. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of manufacturing medical devices10, the methods including the steps of: (a) applying a layer comprising a plurality of fibers22to at least one surface of medical device10; and (b) matching the value of the Young's modulus of the layer to +/−35% (in some embodiments to +/−20%) of the value of the Young's modulus of an animal tissue.
