A device and method for the manufacture of medical devices, specifically, endovascular grafts (16), or sections thereof. Layers of fusible material (13) are disposed upon a shape forming member (14) and seams (81) formed between the layers in a configuration that can produce inflatable channels (82) in desired portions of the graft. After creation of the seams (81), the fusible material of the inflatable channels may be fixed in a mold (90) to constrain an outer layer or layers of fusible material while the channels (82) are being expanded. A joint (330) may be produced on the endovascular graft by folding a flap (333) of a flexible material portion of an endovascular graft about a portion of an expandable member (314) to form a loop portion (348). The flap (333) may be secured in the loop configuration (348) so that tensile force on the expandable member (314) is transferred into a shear force on the fixed portion of the flap.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de fabrication de dispositifs médicaux, en particulier, de greffons endocoronaires, ou de sections de ces greffons. Des couches de matériaux fusibles sont disposées sur un élément donnant une forme et des coutures sont formées entre les couches dans une configuration permettant de produire des conduits gonflables dans des portions recherchées du greffon. Après création des coutures, le matériau fusible des conduits gonflables peut être fixé dans un moule afin de retenir une couche extérieure, ou des couches, de matériau fusible alors que les conduits sont expansés. Il est possible de mettre en place un joint sur le greffon endocoronaire par pliage d'un rabat, d'une portion de matériau flexible d'un greffon endocoronaire, autour d'une portion d'un élément expansible afin de former une portion de boucle. Le rabat peut être fixé dans la configuration de boucle de façon que la force de traction sur l'élément expansible soit transférée en force de cisaillement sur la portion fixe du volet.
