Abstract
To produce a vessel prosthesis, a hose (12) is wrapped with a reinforcing thread (13) to avoid bending and clogging of the vessel prosthesis. The reinforcing thread (13) is wound substantially tensionless on the soft hose (12) thus prohibiting wavy deformations inside the hose. To exclude prior to the solidification of the adhesive connection a displacement of the reinforcing thread (13) being bonded to the hose, a band-shaped spacer (14) is wound up together with the reinforcing thread (13) and removed subsequently.
