Textile arterial prostheses: Is water permeability equivalent to porosity?

Abstract: Porosity and water permeability are two distinct terms that describe different characteristics of vascular prostheses. The porosity is a measure of the void fraction within the prosthesis wall and is believed to give a rough prediction of the capacity of the graft to anchor newly formed surrounding tissue after implantation, whereas the water permeability indicates the rate at which water can flow through the prosthesis wall and, when measured under physiological pressure conditions, provides the surgeon with … Show more

“…A thin latex tube of diameter larger than those of the grafts was inserted into the specimen before the fluid was passed and the graft pressurized. For determining hydraulic permeability, the procedure of Guidoin et al 31 was used. In this method, the volume of water passing through the wall under a fixed hydrostatic pressure of 120 mmHg was collected for 5 min and expressed as milliliters per minute per square centimeter of water.…”

“…16 Test specimens measuring $8 Â 8 cm were clamped into an orifice with an internal diameter of 22 mm, such that the surface area of the test sample was 3.8 cm . A column of distilled water was maintained with a height of 163.2 cm above the sample to achieve a pressure head of 120 mmHg.…”

“…Abdolmaleki et al [7] studied the 3D porosity of knitted fabric under different uniaxial extension in course direction. They estimated the porosity of fabric based on the empirical formula developed by Guidoin's [1] and compared the results obtained from Guidoin's empirical formula under different extension with 3D theoretical methods developed by Benltoufa [2] and Karaguzel [5] in their earlier research. They also modified Benltoufa's model due to the fact that it cannot estimate the value close to experimental results under uniaxial extension in course direction of knitted fabric.…”
