ePTFE Vascular Graft

Introducing BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft: Precision & Performance in Surgical Reconstruction

 

Goodhealth Medtech Pvt. Ltd. is proud to be the authorized distributor in India for the BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft. Engineered with advanced expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) technology, the AVATAR™ graft offers surgeons a reliable, biocompatible, and high-performance solution for a wide spectrum of cardiac and vascular surgical procedures.1 With a robust clinical history spanning over 30 years for ePTFE grafts, AVATAR™ stands as a testament to durability and efficacy in vascular reconstruction.

 

 

What is a PTFE Vascular Graft?

 

A PTFE vascular graft, made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), is a synthetic, inert, and microporous material designed to serve as an artificial blood vessel.2 Its unique structure allows for tissue ingrowth while maintaining a non-thrombogenic surface, minimizing the risk of clot formation.3 When autogenous (patient's own) veins are unsuitable or unavailable, PTFE grafts like AVATAR™ become an indispensable tool for re-establishing blood flow and repairing vessels.

 

 

Why Choose BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft?

 

The BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft is distinguished by its innovative design and superior material properties, making it a preferred choice among cardiac surgeons and vascular surgeons.

  • Advanced ePTFE Material: Crafted from high-quality expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, known for its excellent chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and long-term implant success.4
  • Optimal Microporous Structure: Features a finely controlled porous microstructure on both internal and external surfaces.5 This design encourages rapid tissue ingrowth and cellular endothelization, facilitating long-term healing and patency.
  • Superior Handling & Suturability: The AVATAR™ graft is designed for ease of handling and precise placement in challenging surgical fields. Its unique properties allow for secure suturing, with excellent suture retention characteristics that minimize pull-out.
  • Kink and Crush Resistance (Helix Grafts): Available with an external spiral support (Helix grafts) which provides exceptional resistance to kinking and crushing, crucial for applications in joints or areas of movement.6 These supports can be removable or central-helix for specific needs.
  • Low Thrombogenicity: The inherent properties of ePTFE contribute to a low risk of thrombosis, promoting consistent blood flow and long-term patency.7
  • Variety of Configurations: AVATAR™ grafts are available in a comprehensive range of diameters (from 4mm to 10mm), straight, tapered, and center-helix configurations, providing versatility for diverse anatomical requirements.8
  • Humidity Resistant Technology: BioVic's proprietary manufacturing process ensures optimal graft integrity and performance.

 

 

Applications in Cardiac Surgery (Adult & Pediatric)

 

The BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft offers critical solutions for both adult cardiac surgery and the delicate field of pediatric cardiac surgery.

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): Used as an alternative conduit for bypassing diseased coronary arteries, particularly when saphenous veins or internal mammary arteries are unsuitable.
  • Cardiac Reconstruction: Employed in complex cardiac repairs, including:
    • Septal Defect Closure: For ventricular septal defects (VSD) and atrial septal defects (ASD) repair.
    • Outflow Tract Reconstruction: For reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and pulmonary artery reconstruction, vital in congenital heart defect repairs (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot).
    • Great Vessel Repair: For patching or replacement in aortic and pulmonary artery anomalies.
  • Pediatric Cardiac Shunts: Crucial for constructing systemic-to-pulmonary shunts (e.g., Blalock-Taussig Shunt) in neonates and infants with complex cyanotic heart defects, providing palliative blood flow to the lungs. Its biocompatibility and range of sizes are highly beneficial in pediatric cases.
  • Aortic Reconstruction: For repair or replacement of sections of the aorta, including coarctation repair.

 

 

Applications in Vascular Surgery

 

For vascular surgeons, the BioVic AVATAR™ PTFE Vascular Graft provides a dependable option for various revascularization and access procedures.

  • Peripheral Vascular Bypass: Essential for bypassing occluded or diseased arteries in the lower limbs (e.g., femoral-popliteal bypass, femoral-tibial bypass) to restore blood flow to ischemic limbs, especially when autologous vein is unavailable or needs to be preserved.9
  • Arteriovenous (AV) Access for Dialysis: The Avatar PTFE graft is widely used for creating durable arteriovenous fistulas in patients requiring hemodialysis, allowing for repeated needle access. Its self-sealing properties after puncture contribute to long-term patency.
  • Arterial Reconstruction: For the repair or replacement of damaged or aneurysmal arteries in the extremities, neck (e.g., carotid artery repair), or abdomen.
  • Segmental Bypass: For localized arterial bypasses to restore blood flow.10
  • Trauma Cases: Rapid and effective vascular replacement in emergency trauma situations.
