ABSTRACT:
A medical implant made from multiple layers of non-synthetic, natural tissues is provided. The medical device includes openings that extend radially through the wall of the medical implant. One advantage of the medical implant is that a synthetic support structure is not needed. As a result, problems associated with implanting a foreign material into a body may be avoided.
