Abstract:
1. A substantially non-delaminable and non-porous conduit which comprises: a flexible, tubular substrate having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion, the tubular substrate further having a melting point; a substantially non-porous thermoplastic elastomer having a melting point substantially below the melting point of said tubular substrate; a thermoplastic polymer monofilament; and a substantially non-delaminable taenoid bilayer comprising: wherein the substantially non-delaminable taenoid bilayer is secured to the flexible, tubular substrate to create a wound substrate by: wherein the substantially non-porous thermoplastic elastomer is secured to the wound substrate to form a wrapped substrate by; wherein the thermoplastic polymer monofilament is secured to the wrapped substrate to form a filamented substrate by; whereby said tubular substrate, said taenoid bilayer, said thermoplastic polymer monofilament, and said thermoplastic elastomer are substantially non-delaminably bonded to form the substantially non-delaminable substantially non-porous conduit.
