Our unique design eliminates graft turbulences
Our unique graft design re-models turbulent flow created by diseased vessels and conventional grafts into the body’s own natural spiral flow pattern as determined by transverse color Doppler ultrasound.
The primary cause of failure of prosthetic grafts is neointimal hyperplasia (NIH), usually occurring at the distal anastomosis. We can guarantee that this graft will create spiral flow which is directed into the distal vasculature. No other graft’s benefit does that. Excellent outcomes can arise from being normal…
