A method for manufacturing a fibre reinforced composite by means of a vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding, comprising the steps of placing a fibre material in a mould, placing a flow distribution medium onto the fibre material, and covering the fibre material (1) and the flow distribution medium with a vacuum foil for forming a closed mould cavity between the mould and the vacuum foil is described. It is characterised in using a flow distribution medium with a thickness depending on a pressure gradient over the vacuum foil.

A method of forming a multimodal Polyalkylene Terephthalate (PAT) can include: providing a feed of a low molecular weight (LMW) PAT, the LMW PAT having a low average molecular weight; providing a feed of high molecular weight (HMW) PAT, the HMW PAT having a high average molecular weight, wherein the low average molecular weight is lower than the high average molecular weight; mixing the feed of LMW PAT with the feed of HMW PAT in a mixer to form a multimodal PAT; and providing the multimodal PAT as output. The multimodal PAT can include: a low average molecular weight of a low molecular weight (LMW) PAT; and a high average molecular weight of a high molecular weight (HMW) PAT mixed with the LMW PAT to form the multimodal PAT, wherein the multimodal PAT is devoid of talc.

An intravascular device configured to treat an aneurysm that includes a support structure including metal struts configured to be positioned in a body lumen and defining a central fluid passage that extends axially along the support structure, and a knitted mesh cover disposed over an exterior thereof and across a radial arc and along a length of the support structure sufficient to exceed an opening of an aneurysm to be treated, and the cover includes a polymer fiber having a diameter of at least 40 nanometers to 30 microns and apertures therethrough, the apertures being sized to prevent blood from passing through the device to prevent further expansion of the aneurysm. Devices including apertures that are at least 20 microns and sized to minimize or prevent an aneurysm-filling material from exiting the aneurysm through the knitted mesh cover and support structure, and methods of stenting, are also encompassed.
