Educational Services
Vascutek offers a comprehensive education programme to provide information resources to cardiovascular healthcare professionals at all levels within the surgical team. Audio Visual Services, Patient Education Series, Scientific Support Services, Vascular and Cardiac Workshops are key elements.
Antibiotic Bonding
Vascutek gelatin sealed vascular grafts form an ionic bond with the antibiotic Rifampicin. This feature provides up to 5 days antibiotic activity that has the potential to minimise the occurrence of post-operative graft infection. This strategy is suitable for both gelatin sealed Polyester and gelatin sealed ePTFE grafts.
