GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft by Gore Medical
The GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft is designed for surgical bypass and vascular access procedures, combining the benefits of ringed and non-ringed graft designs. Its internally supported construction helps provide radial support while minimizing trauma and complications associated with external reinforcement.
Made from reinforced ePTFE, the graft offers a smooth luminal surface, strong yet flexible handling, and reduced profile for easier tunneling and placement. It is suitable for lower limb bypass, extra-anatomic procedures, and vascular access applications.
Clinical Applications
GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft is commonly used in vascular reconstruction and access procedures requiring radial support, flexibility, and kink resistance.
Lower Limb Bypass
Suitable for above-the-knee and below-the-knee lower limb bypass reconstructions.
Extra-Anatomic Procedures
Supports selected extra-anatomic vascular reconstruction procedures requiring flexible graft placement.
Vascular Access
Can be used as a vascular access graft where radial support and low-profile construction are required.
Key Features
Unibody Construction
Reinforced ePTFE construction provides a smooth luminal surface while maintaining strength, softness, and flexibility.
Low-Profile Design
Designed with a reduced profile compared with externally ringed grafts while maintaining the same luminal diameter.
Longitudinal Extensibility
The graft can be cut or sutured at any point and provides extensibility associated with GORE-TEX® Stretch Vascular Grafts.
Kink and Compression Resistance
Designed to conform to native vessels, simplify tunneling, and resist kinking and compression after placement.
Available Sizes and Configurations
GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft is available in straight wall, thin wall, internally reinforced, ringed, and tapered configurations to support different vascular surgical requirements.
