An endoluminal vascular device having a plurality of predetermined boding locations between respective first and second covering members to selectively encapsulate a support member. Selective bonding between the first and second covering members results in unbonded slip pockets to accommodate movement of the support member. Such a configuration allows compression of the support member with minimal force and also promotes a low profile of the compressed device. Unbonded regions of the covering members also encourage enhanced cellular penetration for rapid healing and can be configured to hold bioactive substances that diffuse through the covering members.
