    Abstract

    A prototype of manual weaving machine has been developed for the fabrication of straight and bifurcated tubular structures used as vascular prostheses, conceiving a special heald frames selection device. This permits the selection of two branches warp yarns of the bifurcated structure separately and allows weft insertion to the middle of the warp sheet. The machine has been successfully used to weave a bifurcated prosthesis with biocompatible Dacron polyester filaments.
