  Radiopaque Polymer Composites for Improved Visualization of Interventional Devices

  By Sachin Gugwad, Shashikiran N. D., Namrata Gaonkar

  Abstract: Radiopaque polymer composites are increasingly important for improving the visualization of interventional medical devices under X-ray and fluoroscopic imaging while maintaining the flexibility, mechanical performance, and processability required for minimally invasive applications. This narrative review summarizes recent developments in radiopaque polymer composites, with emphasis on radiopaque filler selection, polymer–filler interactions, processing strategies, structure–property relationships, biocompatibility, and device applications. A focused literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, …
