The optimal choice for peripheral
vascular reconstruction
•The ideal alternative when vein is not available
•Proprietary knit design produces excellent handling and
host vessel conformability
•Outstanding suturability with no suture hole bleeding
•Available in Knitted UltraThin and Knitted construction with optional radial support
HEMAGARD Knitted Small Caliber grafts are a proven
alternative for peripheral bypass procedures when vein is not
available.1 HEMAGARD Knitted Small Caliber was designed
to overcome complications such as hyperplasia, host vessel
mismatch, and suture hole bleeding. HEMAGARD Knitted
Small Caliber is also available radially supported with an
external polypropylene support for all peripheral applications,
including axillofemoral, axillobifemoral and fem-fem
crossover procedures.
HEMAGARD Knitted UltraThin is an innovative vascular
graft designed to improve outcomes of peripheral bypass
procedures. With a wall thickness of 0.35mm, INTERGARD
Knitted UltraThin is one of the thinnest knitted polyester
collagen coated graft on the market. This technological
advance was developed to produce a thinner, highly
compliant vascular graft in response to the need for
an improved alternative for peripheral vascular bypass
procedures.
The unique polyester knitted matrix creates a compliant
vessel due to its pulsatility. HEMAGARD Knitted UltraThin
provides an alternative for peripheral bypass procedures
when vein is not available, with comparable patency rates to
other prosthetic material,2 without suture hole bleeding.
•Radial and longitudinal pulsatility
•Excellent handling and host vessel conformability
•No suture hole bleeding
•Available Radially Supported - kink and compression
resistant
•Excellent host vessel conformability
