PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The FLIXENE IFG (Intraluminal Flow Guard) is a uniquely engineered T-shaped vascular graft specifically designed as an upper arm A-V graft. This new concept, facilitates the insertion of a Nitinol reinforced intraluminal graft portion directly into the vein for a less abrupt flow transition. The IFG is designed to help improve flow dynamics by reducing arterialized pressure along the venous anastomotic junction.
IFG CONSTRUCTION
The FLIXENE IFG vascular graft is a composite graft, built from Atriums proprietary biomaterial lamination process with a reinforced Nitinol support section for intraluminal placement. The composite layers are designed to maximize handling, strength, improve implantation properties, and withstand repeated dialysis needle cannulation. The FLIXENE graft wall construction prevents and/or Incorporation zone Direction minimizes any 60 micron of blood ow weeping from Hydrostatic protection occurring membrane <5 micron following TOE HEEL portion portion implantation. Flow interface zone
60/20 micron
Isolate vein
Expose upper arm and antecubital fossa vessels Provide proper vein exposure (minimum of 5 cm) at venous end
Final steps
After tunneling, cut off the Slider GDS attachment and remove the sheath Insert a compliant balloon (5.0 mm) from the arterial end of graft Inflate balloon within the IFG segment to ensure there are no kinks in the segment Remove the balloon Clamp graft above the IFG segment with shodded clamps Complete the arterial anastomosis
Graft Monitoring
Due to the increased wall thickness of the FLIXENE IFG Graft, a thrill may be difficult to detect. A stethoscope may be needed to confirm patency at the anastomotic site.
