Abstract
Disclosed is a process of making an expanded fluoropolymer, e.g., PTFE, article is disclosed. The article is formed from a PTFE resin, calendered, and then expanded (e.g., uniaxially, multiaxially, etc.) at an elevated temperature. After cooling, the article is used to form a surgically implanted device, e.g., a surgical prosthetic sling.
