Gelweave™

Gelweave™ is a zero porosity gelatin impregnated graft and is available in straight, bifurcate, single and multibranched configurations that are primarily indicated for cardiothoracic and thoracoabdominal applications.

The polyester structure features “floating yarns” that create a velour on the external surface of the graft, encouraging better attachment of ingrowing tissue and an improved healing capacity.

The sealant can be loaded with heparin to provide additional active thromboresistance within the graft and/or bonded with antibiotics for extra protection against postoperative graft infection in high-risk cases.

The extensive range of Gelweave™ specialist grafts includes,

• Ante-Flo± - aortic arch replacement
• 3 and 4 branch Plexus – aortic arch and branch vessel replacement
• Trifurcate – thoracoabdominal bypass 3 branch graft for sequential visceral and renal artery replacement
• Coselli Thoracoabdominal Graft™ - thoracoabdominal 4 branch graft for inline replacement of the aorta and branch vessels
• Valsalva™ - aortic root replacement

* Precurved versions of Ante-Flo and non-branched grafts are also available.
