The mechanical performance of weft-knitted/electrospun bilayer small diameter vascular prostheses

- Single and bilayer vascular grafts were fabricated with knitted/electrospun layers.
- Collagen/elastin were impregnated into grafts to mimic the native composition.
- Compliance was higher for the bilayer graft with the electrospun layer inside.
- The raveling issue of the knitted structure improved by reinforcement.
