Flixene Vascular Grafts

ePTFE Vascular Grafts

The right graft for AV access

Durable vascular access with Flixene vascular grafts.

Flixene for dialysis access[1]

The Flixene graft has been demonstrated in clinical literature to be a reliable AV access conduit for dialysis care in terms of successful cannulation and patency.[1]

It incorporates a 3 layer ePTFE design for use in both vascular bypass and AV access graft applications.[1]

A choice of configurations

Straight:

Getinge offers an extensive line of straight grafts.
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.

The right graft for long-lasting durability and proven reliability[2][3][4][5][6]

3 layer graft comprised of ePTFE, designed for repeated needle cannulation related to dialysis care[1]

Key studies have demonstrated secondary patency rates greater than 83% at 12 months[2][3][4][5][6]

The secondary patency rate was 77.7% at five years (as reported by He et al.)[6]

The right graft for safe graft placement[7]

Low-profile Graft Deployment System (GDS), designed to make tunneling easier than conventional practices[7]

Improved primary patency at 180 days (as reported by Schild et al.)[7]

Minimized soft tissue trauma and reduced graft sweating (as reported by Schild et al.)[7]

The right graft for suturability and handling[1]

Reduced wall thickness on each end[1]

Unique graduated wall design for ease of suturing[1]

Tapered configuration designed to change flow dynamics[1]

The right graft for early cannulation[1][4][6]

On-label for 24 hour access[1]

Demonstrated as a safe and effective early cannulation option[4]

An alternative to central venous catheters[6]
