Knitted Arterial Prosthesis
MICROVELOUR® is a family of “knitted” type arterial prostheses, woven with polyester multifilaments and impregnated with type I bovine collagen.
They have a permeability of less than 5 ml/cm²/min at 120 mmHg, dispensing with need for pre-coagulation of the prosthesis, and allows its application even in patients on systemic heparinization.
Its elasticity is given by a spiral accordion. A guideline allows its best visualization, and helps to avoid twisting it.
The MICROVELOUR® family comprises straight, bifurcated or patch prostheses.
MICROVELOUR advantages
- They have excellent endothelialization
- Fast collagen absorption
- Permeability < 5 ml/cm²/min
- Great elasticity and flexibility
- Easy handling and suturing
- Extremely strong
“Barone Microvelour® is a strong graft, with a healing rate and sequence equivalent to other knitted grafts from polyester."
