|
| Superior Construction and Material | - Advanced construction and double-pass sewing technique provides an improved anastomotic seal.
- Proprietary collagen impregnation reduces porosity to improve hemostasis.
- Soft, flexible woven material conforms to host vessel for easier anastomosis.
- Provides superb tissue ingrowth and long-term patency.

| HEMASHIELD PLATINUM Branch Grafts: A Graft Designed for Each Technique | In addition to straight and bifurcated options, the following products with presewn branches offer versatility and convenience for a wide variety of aortic repair techniques and procedures.
|
|
| Four-Branch Graft | Observed clinical advantages of the four-branch arch graft replacement include: - Dramatically reduced cerebral circulatory arrest times 1,2-3
- Significantly lowered risk of mortality and risk of neurologic dysfunction2
- Negated the need for direct cannulation of brachiocephalic arteries, which reduces the risk of embolization of air or atherosclerotic debris1,2
- Provides an alternative technique to the Island Technique with retrograde perfusion via femorals
|
|
| Angled Four-Branch Graft | - This four-branch graft Includes one branch for perfusion and three angled branches (60 degrees) for repair or replacement of the head vessels
- Angled design mimics the natural anatomy of the head vessels
|
|
| One-Branch Graft | The straight and one-branch grafts may be used for various procedures, including: - Ascending thoracic aortic repair
- Descending thoracic aortic repair
- Ascending and innominate repair (with one-branch graft)
- Island Technique for arch repair
|
|
| Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (TAAA) Graft | - Designed for repair or replacement of the thoracic and abdominal portions of the aorta
- Applications include replacement of the right and left renal arteries as well as the superior mesenteric artery and celiac arteries
