Disclosed are vascular grafts including an expanded copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoropropylene vinyl ether (PPVE). In certain embodiments, the copolymer includes between about 0.01% and about 1.5% PPVE. Vascular grafts exhibit superior performance properties, e.g., radial strength, and suture strength, and manufacturing properties, e.g., sinter time. Methods of forming vascular grafts from the copolymer also are described. |
