ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTS COMPRISING SUPERELASTIC MATERIALS
A product (108) such as a medical device is manufactured using a superelastic material. A computer simulates performance of the object using predefined mathematical models. An object model describes the geometry of the object in a form suitable for numerical analysis. The object is made of only one (superelastic) material, but the numerical analysis is performed using the object model together with two different material models. The object model is partitioned such that a first material model (MT) is used to simulate the material behaviour for elements subject to superelastic tension and a second material model (MC) is used to simulate the material behaviour in parts of the object subject to superelastic compression. Compared with known models, the partitioned model is more accurate over the range of tensile and compressive conditions. The model can be used in an iterative design process to achieve a product meeting desired performance specifications.

A main graft (2) for a modular fenestrated assembly (1) consists of a graft sleeve having first and second ends (9 A, 9B), with a lumen extending therethrough, and bifurcated at a junction (6) to form two docking zones (8A, 8B), such that the lumen of the graft sleeve is divided into two smaller lumens after the bifurcation junction (6). The main graft (2) includes ring stents (7) located at end (9A) and on each docking zone (8A, 8B) at end (9B). The stents (7) may be attached to the graft sleeve by sewing. Leg grafts (3, 4) are sealingly engageable with either docking zone (8A, 8B) in zone (20), for example by expansion of a stent (7) at respective first ends (10A) of the first and second leg grafts (3, 4). A fenestration (5) is provided in either leg graft (3, 4).
A prosthesis (1) has a graft sleeve having a first and second ends (9A, 9B) with a lumen therethrough, a main body portion (2) bifurcated at a junction (6) to form a first leg (3) and a second leg (4) such that the lumen of the graft sleeve in main body portion (2) is divided into two smaller lumens. The body portion (2) has two ring stents (7), first leg (3) and second leg (4) each have ring stents (7) which maintain the patency of legs (3, 4) and assist bending of the leg graft without kinking to accommodate the patient's anatomy. The first leg (3) and second leg (4) each include a fenestration (5) in the fabric material forming each leg. Corrugations in first leg (3) and/or second leg (4) allow a degree of twisting to accommodate angular adjustment of the fenestration position.
A stent graft prosthesis includes spaced stent elements for location on a tubular graft. First and second stent elements are located in first and second locations on the graft. The second stent element includes a saddle shaped stent. The first stent element includes a ring shaped stent. Optionally a third stent element is also present. The tubular graft includes a graft sleeve. The prosthesis can be used for treatment of vascular disorders such as aortic aneurysm.
