Biostable polymers, such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and polyethene terephthalate (PET), are currently the standard biomaterials for vascular grafts in clinical applications.

They perform well as large-diameters blood vessel grafts (>6 mm) 84, 85.

PTFE poly trifluoro ethylene is used in such bypass surgeries as of its micro-porous nature and anti-thrombic action.
