Flixene Vascular Grafts
Flixene for dialysis access
Flixene incorporates a 3 layer ePTFE design for use in both vascular bypass and AV Access graft applications. The 3 layer construction provides Flixene significantly improved strength over previous Getinge double layer ePTFE grafts. To address a broad number of patient needs, Flixene grafts are offered in a variety of configurations including:
A choice of configuration
Straight:
Getinge offers an extensive line of straight grafts. Straight grafts are often used for those applications where a bypass is needed and vessel diameter remains a constant from the proximal to the distal anastomosis. This configuration is offered in both graduated wall and standard wall thickness.
Tapered:
A wide selection of tapered grafts is also offered for those clinical applications where flow dynamics need to be altered or when performing a bypass between two different diameter vessels. [1] Configuration available in both graduated wall and standard wall thickness.
Graduated Wall (GW):
Designed to be thinner at the ends of the graft compared to the standard wall design. The Flixene GW grafts offer a reduced wall thickness at the proximal and distal 8 cm segments of the graft. Getinge's engineers were able to achieve this while ensuring sufficient strength to withstand needle cannulation. [1]
Standard Wall (SW):
Getinge also offers a full line of standard wall thickness grafts.
Flixene is engineered to meet the clinical demands for dialysis access. [1]
Clinical data demonstrates the ability of Flixene to be safely cannulated within 24 to 72 hours, enabling patients to begin dialysis within days rather than weeks. [2]
Flixene comes equipped with the SLIDER GDS tunneling system. Use of the SLIDER GDS has the potential for reducing trauma, tunnel bleeding, graft sweating, edema, and operative infections. [3]
Flixene has an average outer surface porosity of 60µm, and an average inner surface porosity of 20µm. [1]

Learn more about the Flixene AV access graft. Flixene includes a slider GDS system with plastic sheath to facilitate tunneling, minimizes pre-wetting and contamination of the graft. Flixene is shown to be a viable option for early cannulation within 3 days, reducing the need and risks associated with CVCs for patients.
