Abstract
A method for forming vascular graft prostheses is described. In particular, the method relates to determining the carrying volume of a gelable material to fill the interstices of a fabric prosthesis, applying that carrying volume of gelable material to the prosthesis, and crosslinking the gelable material to form uniform gel-coated prostheses having low porosity.
