The wrap () is more elastic or stretchable at, near, or along at least some of its sides () compared to at, near, or along its centre, to provide strain relief from wrapped to unwrapped aorta. The wrap () is not inelastic, so that loss of aortic compliance is minimised or enhanced. The wrap () is adapted to apply, in use, less compressive force at, near, or along at least some of its sides () compared to at, near, or along its centre.
