ost surgeons would say: The GORE-TEX ® Vascular Graft. It's not just a popular choice (over 700,000 implants so far). It's a choice backed by over ten years of clinical results. 1 Therefore, ifyou chose "A", you made the right choice. Of course, if you chose "B", "C", "D", or "E", you also made the right choice. Because all of the grafts shown here are

GORE-TEX reinforced expanded PTFE Vascular Grafts: straight, thinwalled, ringed, thinwalled ringed, and tapered. Each has characteristics that make it more suitable for some procedures than for others. Each has particular features that individual surgeons prefer. All are easy to handle and use, do not require pre-clotting, are

non-thrombogenic, .....~' and have demonstrated patency rates second only to the saphenous vein. The choice, then, is yours. We will continue to provide you with as many useful variations on that choice as possible. For further information, use the coupon or call:
