A vascular band (1) for application around a body vessel comprises a biocompatible flexible material (2) and a plurality of radio-opaque strut members (4) extending transversely across the width of the material and spaced apart along its length. The strut members, which may be of metal, can be crimped or woven into the material. The band can be stitched, stapled, or hooked around a body vessel, and may have a tail portion (6) to assist in placement of the band. |
