Vascular Graft
Pediatric cardiac shunts

– Vascular grafts with 3 mm internal diameters and up to 5 mm
– Thin graft walls providing better tissue approximation
– Improved handling through higher kink resistance
– Superior anastomotic conformability enabling up to 50%
   elongation of beveled end
– Non-biologic PFTE fabric

GORE® PROPATEN®
Vascular Graft configured for Pediatric Shunt

In addition to the well-proven features of the ePTFE stretch vascular grafts, GORE® PROPATEN® improves thromboresistance and patency.

GORE® PROPATEN® harnesses the anticoagulant properties of heparin directly at the luminal surface of the graft. The endpoint covalent bonding anchors heparin molecules to the luminal surface while still maintaining heparin's intrinsic bioactive properties (CBAS/Carmeda Bioactive Surface). Endpoint covalent bonding prevents elution of heparin.
