The invention provides a self-sealing arteriovenous graft including a tube having a polymeric inner layer defining a lumen through which blood may flow and an outer textile layer. The outer textile layer is concentrically disposed about the inner layer. Furthermore, an intermediate self-sealing layer is concentrically positioned between the inner and outer layers. The self-sealing layer includes a biocompatible polymer.
