Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a tubular prosthesis comprising a substantially tubular basic body made of material expandable in at least the radial direction, which has been provided with at least one ridge extending around the prosthesis made of extensible and curable material. In addition the ridge may comprise reinforcing fibres extending in the longitudinal direction of the ridge.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
38 words
Tubular prosthesis comprising a substantially tubular basic body made of a material expandable at least in the radial direction, which has been provided with at least one ridge extending around the prosthesis made of extensible and curable material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
21 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ridge comprises reinforcing fibres extending in the longitudinal direction of the ridge.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in claim 2, wherein the reinforcing fibres have been embedded in curable material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in one of the previous claims, wherein the curable material cures due to exposure to radiation, such as UV light.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in one of the previous claims, wherein the ridge protrudes at least partially in relation to the outer surface of the basic body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in one of the previous claims, wherein the mutual axial distance of sections of the ridge extending around the prosthesis or ridges extending around the prosthesis respectively, varies along the length of the basic body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in claim 6, wherein the mutual axial distance close to the ends of the basic body is smaller than in the intervening area.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in one of the previous claims, comprising a number of annular ridges.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
Tubular prosthesis as claimed in one of the previous claims, comprising at least one ridge extending in a helical pattern.
