Abstract:
1. A method of verifying location and/or orientation of an implanted prosthesis in a body without an incision into the body, the method comprising: directing electromagnetic energies at the implanted prosthesis, wherein the implanted prosthesis comprises an extruded layer of synthetic non-metallic material having a coextruded first radiopaque marker and a coextruded second radiopaque marker each at least partially embedded in the layer, the first radiopaque marker including a first radiopaque material and the second radiopaque marker including a second radiopaque material different from the first radiopaque material, wherein the first radiopaque marker and the second radiopaque marker block some of the electromagnetic energies from passing through a portion of the implanted prosthesis; and forming an image on a display medium that gives a visual indication of the first radiopaque marker and the second radiopaque marker.
