1. A method of making a medical device having a covered scaffold, comprising the steps of:

  • a) Placing a deposition substrate on a pair of cylindrical rollers imparting a rotary movement to the deposition substrate along its longitudinal axis;

    b) Forming a pattern associated with the deposition substrate corresponding to a geometry for a scaffold;

    c) Forming the scaffold in association with the deposition substrate;

    d) Depositing a cover-forming material onto the formed scaffold, thereby monolithically joining the scaffold and the cover-forming material;

    e) Creating a plurality of openings passing through the cover-forming material; and

    f) Releasing the monolithically joined scaffold and cover-forming material from the deposition substrate.
