Hollow 8 mm tube of crimped, flexible Dacron (synthetic polyester fiber), off-white in color, and pink orange product label housed in original sealed plastic bag. Typically in the shape of a tube, Dacron grafts are commonly used to replace or repair blood vessels or natural body tissues. Grafts can also serve as a stent to repair an artery, blood vessels, or other hollow bodily structures.
