Challenge: Minimizing blood loss during insertion of endovascular devices

Choice: GORE® DrySeal Sheath

While endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) has proven to be a successful alternative to open surgical repair, physicians continue to seek improvements to the procedures.

The GORE® DrySeal Sheath is a revolutionary device that features better control and minimized blood loss when inserting endovascular devices. It is comprised of an introducer sheath with a GORE® DrySeal Valve attached, a dilator, and a 2.5 ml valve inflation syringe.

The GORE® DrySeal Valve is unique in that it is pressurized to create a seal, thereby minimizing blood loss while accommodating multiple wires and catheters. No intraprocedural manipulation is necessary to maintain hemostasis.

The device is available in profiles from 12 to 26 Fr in Fr increments, and has a working length of 28 cm.
