A cluster of tubular tissue dies in a die holder is inserted lengthwise in a stab wound. Each die tube is perforated and contains a cloth tube spaced outward from a central mandrel in the tube. Ingrowth of tissue encapsulates the cloth tube and fills the space between the cloth tube and mandrel forming a graft tube containing the cloth tube as a reinforcing member adjacent its outer surface and remote from the lumen formed by the mandrel. The die cluster containing the graft tubes is removed lengthwise from a second stab wound adjacent one end of the cluster. |
