The GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft allows for earlier removal or avoidance of a central venous catheter (CVC), providing an alternative for your hemodialysis patients.

  • Early cannulation: Cannulate within 24 hours with the leading1 on-label early cannulation graft to allow for earlier removal or avoidance of a CVC
  • Reduced infection and mortality: 5x lower risk of infection and 3x lower risk of mortality compared to CVC2
  • Lower total cost of care: Lowers the costs of treating CVC sepsis by earlier removal of a CVC3

The tri-layer design of the GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft is optimized for early cannulation and provides uncompromised handling.

  • Flexible at curves without kinking
  • Free from stiffness or rigidity
  • Precise suturing and anastomotic tailoring
