Gore’s New DrySeal Flex Introducer Sheath for EVAR Procedures
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/...Introducer.jpgGore is making available its*new*DrySeal Flex Introducer Sheath following regulatory clearance in the U.S., EU, Canada, and Australia. It’s intended to be used with the firm’s EXCLUDER Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis for endovascular repair of*iliac artery aneurysms and*aortoiliac aneurysms.

The DrySeal Flex was designed to minimize blood loss as different guidewires and catheters are pushed into and out of the patient. To do this it has a so called “DrySeal” valve that prevents blood from exiting through the same channel that instruments are introduced through.

It is a*12 Fr x 45 cm sheath available in lengths*of 22, 45, and 65 cm.

“Nearly a third of patients being considered for EVAR have an aneurysm that extends to the iliac artery. The IBE is a trusted solution in such cases, but previously ** introducer sheaths designed for use with this device existed,” said Mr. Marcus Brooks, Consultant Vascular Surgeon, **rth Bristol NHS Trust, in a statement. “With the GORE DrySeal Flex Introducer Sheath, I **w have a sheath specifically designed for use with the IBE and flexible e**ugh for easy access to the iliac branch vessels.”
