Embodiment Construction
[0017] The present invention provides a radiopaque marker for use on a variety of devices that is flexible, highly radiopaque and is easily attachable to such devices by melt bonding. These properties allow markers to be of minimal thickness and thereby minimize the effect the marker has on the overall profile and stiffness of the device to which it is to be attached.
[0018] In order to achieve the high fill ratios that are necessary to attain the desired radiopacity and in order to do so without compromising the compoundability and workability of the polymeric material nor its ultimate strength and flexibility, a number of different parameters have been found to be of importance. More specifically, both the particle shape and particle size of the radiopaque agent must be carefully controlled while the inclusion of a MA-g-PO in the polymer blend is critical. An antioxidant may additionally be included in an effort to reduce the adverse effect the high processing temperatures and she...
