Flixene

Flixene provides a durable Vascular Access Option

Flixene is a unique 3 Layer ePTFE graft designed for use in both Vascular Bypass and AC Access grafts applications. The 3 layer construction provice Flixene significantly improved strength and durability over previous Getinge(formerly Maquet) single and doublelater ePTFE grafts. To address a broad number of patiemt neds,Flixene grafts are offered in variety of configuration including:

STRAIGHT

Gretinge offers an extensive line of straight grafts, Straight grafts are often used for those applications where a by pass is needed and vessel diameter remains a constant from the proximal to the distal anastomosis

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.

GRADUATED WALL (GW)

To offer physicians improved suturability and handling, the Flixene GW grafts offer a reduced wall thickness at the proximal and distal 8cm segments of the grafts. Getinge engineers were able to achieve this without reducing the strength and durability of the Flixene GW in comparison to that of our standard wall grafts which remain an active parts of our portfolio

STANDARD WALL (SW)

Getinge also offers a full line of standard wall thickness grafts

FEATURES

Flixene offers a strong and durable cannulation zone engineered to meet the clinical demands for dialysis access
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
Flixene comes equipped with SLIDER GDS tunneling system. Use the SLIDER GDS has been associated with reduced complication (seroma and pseudoaneurysm formation ) as well as reduced soft tissue trauma occurrence during the tunneling process
Flixene has an average outer surface porosity of 60µm,and average inner surface porosity of 20µm
