Vascutek Receives Innovation Award

Vascutek is honoured to receive the award Business Innovation of the Year at the 2012 Scottish Business Awards. The Scottish Business Awards is a prestigious event and Vascutek was shortlisted along with seven other leading Scottish companies for the Innovation category.

Vascutek was recognised for applying advanced and innovative technologies to develop a wide range of products to meet the needs of vascular and cardiothoracic clinicians worldwide.

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.

Anaconda BluGlide™

The world's first repositionable stent graft

The Anaconda™ AAA Stent Graft System with BluGlide™ with hydrophilic coated introducer sheath is designed and indicated for the repair of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The superhydrophilic coating significantly smoothes the passage of the introducer sheath through the arteries providing excellent manoeuvrability and tracking for varying patient anatomies.
