Synthetic vascular grafts are artificial blood vessel replacements used in surgeries to bypass or repair damaged arteries, such as the aorta, iliac, femoral, or popliteal vessels. Clinically, they help restore blood flow when natural vessels are blocked or weakened, reducing risks like aneurysms or severe narrowing.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and pre-cut to specific sizes, requiring surgical placement by trained professionals. Regulations may address material safety, biocompatibility, and long-term durability.
