Abstract
A method of making a valvular medical device including a cell configured to flex out-of-plane upon application of a lateral or circumferential force applied to the biased cell, the biased cell having an elongate member projecting axially from an apex of the biased cell that flexes out-of-plane concomitantly with out-of-plane flexion of the biased cell. A monolithic hypotube is formed into a lattice structure having a plurality of biased cells and elongate members and is configured into a cardiac valve having a main body portion, a valve leaflet portion, and a plurality of elongate biasing arm members. A polymer coating or covering is disposed on the valve leaflet portion and the elongate biasing arm members and subtends space between adjacent pairs of elongate biasing arm members to form valve leaflet cusps that are biased toward a central axis of the cardiac valve by the elongate biasing arm members.
