Silver Graft
Warp-knitted, double-velour vascular prosthesis of polyester
Silver Graft protheses are warp-knitted, double-velour vascular prostheses made of polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) for reconstructive procedures on the aorta and arteries in the peripheral area. They are impregnated with absorbable modified bovine gelatin for temporary sealing. The outer surfaces of the prostheses are coated by a metallic silver layer to inhibit microbial adhesion. Temporary sealing and inhibition of microbial adhesion are confirmed by product tests as well as preclinical in vivo and in vitro tests. Silver Graft prostheses are available in different lengths and diameters.
