Product Value—GORE® CARDIOFORM ASD Occluder
Provides value through improving clinical outcomes and lowering costs
GORE® CARDIOFORM ASD Occluder is a device used for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs).*
An ASD is a hole in the wall between the heart’s upper chambers. It can cause extra blood to overfill the lungs and overwork the right side of the heart. Overtime, the right side of the heart can enlarge and/or weaken, causing potential problems such as: heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke and pulmonary hypertension.1
Fills and conforms to the defect for confident closure
- Soft and conformable construction designed to integrate with the natural structure of the atrial septum.
- Designed to minimize wall injury and allow tissue ingrowth for short- and long-term performance.
- Low device or procedure complications reported.2
Minimizing inventory and improving efficiencies with storing only five SKUs*
