Inherently radiopaque side-chain crystallizable polymers (IRSCCP's) are useful in various medical applications. An example of a IRSCCP is a polymer that comprises a main chain, a plurality of crystallizable side chains, and a plurality of heavy atoms attached to the polymer, the heavy atoms being present in an amount that is effective to render the polymer radiopaque. A polymeric material that includes a IRSCCP may be fabricated into a medical device useful for at least partially occluding a body cavity. For example, such a medical device may be an embolotherapy product.

L~invention porte sur des polymères cristallisables à chaîne latérale radiopaque de façon inhérente (IRSCCP) servant dans différentes applications médicales. Un exemple de IRSCCP est un polymère comprenant une chaîne principale, une pluralité de chaînes latérales cristallisables et une pluralité d~atomes lourds fixés au polymère, les atomes lourds étant présents dans une quantité efficace pour rendre le polymère radiopaque. Un matériau polymère englobant un IRSCCP peut servir dans un dispositif médical pour obstruer au moins partiellement une cavité corporelle. Par exemple, un tel dispositif médical peut être un produit d~embolothérapie.
