Abstract
An elastomeric radiopaque adhesive composition which includes a biocompatible elastomeric matrix and a radiopaque material distributed therein in sufficient amounts to produce a radiopaque image. Further, a hybrid vascular prosthesis including a PTFE structure, a textile structure and a cured elastomeric bonding agent adhesively secures the PTFE to the textile. The elastomeric agent having radiopaque material impregnated therein in sufficient amounts to produce a radiopaque image.
