Abstract
A vascular prosthesis has a plurality of tubular structures, each of which is manually separable from the others. Each tube structure has a biocompatible exterior surface and a lumen of predetermine diameter. Fluid, such as blood, is channelled through the lumina upon implantation in an arterial or venous pathway. Each of the tube structures is separable from the others over at least a portion of the axial extent of the exterior surface.
