Gelsoft™ Plus

The world’s only dilatation resistant köper knitted gelatin sealed polyester graft.

The Gelsoft™ Plus product range is indicated for abdominal and peripheral applications and comprises straights, bifurcates and externally supported extra-anatomic designs.

Gelsoft™ Plus is the first of a new generation of zero porosity, gelatin sealed polyester vascular grafts featuring a unique Köper knitted structure. This provides dilatation resistance while preserving all the advantages of a warp knitted structure i.e. soft handling, absence of fraying, increased strength and suture retention.

Gelsoft™ Plus utilises Vascutek’s unique, proven, low thrombogenicity hydrolysable gelatin sealant technology. 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 comprehensive Gelsoft™ Plus range includes straights, bifurcates and externally reinforced Gelsoft™ Plus ERS designs for femoro-femoral, femoro-popliteal and axillo-bifemoral bypass applications. When required, the external polypropylene support may be peeled to allow the graft to be fashioned prior to its anastomosis.
