Refined value in vascular outcomes

Continued innovation leads to enhanced value with the GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System. Reducing the number of devices used per case may lead to overall cost savings.  Use of the GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System has shown to reduce devices per case by 8–23 percent.1

Data shown represents information publicly available by disease state.

Fewer devices per case as well as significantly less total number of SKUs may result in cost savings for treating a broad range of patients.

See why oversizing matters: Potentially stock fewer devices yet treat a broad range of patients.
