A composite medical device includes a knitted structure having a single
layer of yarns to define a single layered wall, where the yarns are
interlaced into stitches in a knit pattern capable of resilient
longitudinal elongation and resilient radial contraction of the knit from
a quiescent state to an elongated state, and a layer of ePTFE securably
attached to the knitted structure. The knit pattern is a warp knitted
pattern of yarns forming a textile layer having an interior surface and
an exterior surface, where interior yarns form the interior surface and
form loops in the longitudinal direction of said knitted structure, and
exterior yarns form the exterior surface and are diagonally shifted over
two or more of the interior yarns in an alternating pattern along a width
of the knitted structure before engaging an the interior yarn.
