ABSTRACT:
A method for making an endoluminal prosthesis for implantation within a body lumen to maintain luminal patency, the prothesis including a support structure, such as a wire member, and a polymer component, such as a polymer cladding. The method may include joining a wire member to a polymer cladding, helically wrapping a length of the joined support wire member and polymer cladding such that adjacent windings of the polymer cladding have overlapping regions, and heating the joined support wire member and polymer cladding above the melt point of the polymer cladding.
