Official product description
The HEMASHIELD PLATINUM Woven Double Velour Vascular Graft is a woven double velour polyester graft impregnated with highly purified bovine collagen. The HEMASHIELD PLATINUM Woven Double Velour Vascular Graft is designed to reduce bleeding at implant and thereby eliminates the operative preclotting step, including cumbersome autoclave techniques. The collagen is designed to be gradually resorbed by the patient. The CONCENTRICRIMP pleat and GUIDELINE stripe are also featured. In addition to collagen, the graft also contains glycerol as a softening agent.
