A method and product thereby for generating a biocompatible balloon, comprising, in combination: compressing with a first die at least two porous membranes enclosed by a releasing agent between the first die and each of the at least porous membranes, wherein the releasing agent has a melting point above that of the porous membranes; heating the porous membranes to a temperature between the melting point of the porous membranes and the melting point of the releasing agent; and removing the first die; whereby the releasing agent provides support to the porous membranes by cohesive forces between the releasing agent and the porous membranes, such that the porous membranes maintain, after the compressing with the first die, a form defined by the compressing with the first die. |
