ABSTRACT:
A buttressing pledget is manufactured from a synthetic elastomeric material. The elastomeric material can be nonporous, radiolucent, and/or a silicone rubber. The buttressing pledget can be made radiopaque by the addition of a suitable material, such as barium sulfate. The pledget can be combined with a surgical suture or ligature.
