Abstract
- The combination of spandex fibers improves the diameter variation of fabrics.
- The fabric type and yarn type both affect the bursting strength and compliance of the vascular grafts.
- The resulting vascular grafts have a greater compliance when spandex fibers are incorporated with the fabrics.
- The number of freeze-thaw cycles is in relation to the compliance and bursting strength of vascular grafts.
