Internal prosthesis with radiopaque annular portions
First Claim
1. A prosthetic device for vascular surgery, comprising a substantially tubular body including plastic material and tolerated by the human body, wherein said tubular body has free ends for attaching to at least one artery, and wherein said tubular body has radiopaque annular portions which are continuous over the entire surface of said tubular body and spaced equidistant along said tubular body for detection of said tubular body by X-rays wherein the radiopaque annular portions do not alter the functional properties or special nature of the prosthetic device.

Abstract
Internal prosthesis for the substitution of a part of the human body particularly in vascular surgery, which has a body (2) with a substantially tubular configuration made of plastic material tolerated by the human body and suitable for being associated by its free ends through a suture, to the ends of one or more arteries: advantageously the body defining prosthesis is radiopaque (4) so that it can be easily detected by means of an X-ray apparatus.
