3.1 Graft Oozing
The dimensions of the prostheses used for testing are summarised in Table 1. Following full pressurisation of the prosthesis, blood oozing was immediately noted. A blood stream (Figure 1) was noted 30 seconds after peak pressure was reached. By 60 sec, a heavy stream of blood oozing from the graft was noted (Figure 2). Oozing was also noted along the graft branches. For each device, in total 250.0 mL of blood oozed through the prosthesis wall within 60 seconds.
