Some call it conformability. 
We call it one less thing for you to worry about.


Device conformability can reduce complications in patients with aortic disease requiring reintervention.1-3 That is why we design our aortic devices to adapt to the patient's unique anatomy.

At Gore, our portfolio of conformable stent grafts and innovative delivery systems allows us to support physicians in improving clinical outcomes in EVAR and TEVAR procedures, providing what matters to the patients: Long-lasting treatment. 
 

Aortic endoprosthesis designed to respect the anatomy 

Gore strives to redefine the standard of conformability. A device achieves conformability by combining radial force, device flexibility and spring-back force.

The GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System exhibited exceptional conformability based on results of spring-back analysis.

Endovascular aortic repair devices to provide controlled conformability

Controlled conformability for each patient – building on the proven performance of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Device family, i.e. the conformable stent graft and innovative delivery system, offers new levels of control.

 

Gore has combined a stent design, device conformability and an enhanced delivery system to give physicians even more control when we need it most.

A focus on the future, driven by a powerful past

At Gore, we have a strong heritage in material science leadership. Since the late 60s, Gore has been diving deep into material innovations and more for than 25 years, our devices are setting the standards for aortic care. But we have not stopped there. We continue to drive aortic innovations that will help physicians deliver the best possible care to their patients. 
We’re your aortic ally.

Endografts designed to treat both straightforward and challenging anatomies

Our family of EVAR and TEVAR devices is designed for everyday practice and the treatment of highly challenging aortic pathologies. They all have one goal in common: Advancing aortic treatment capabilities. 

GORE® ACTIVE CONTROL System in EVAR and TEVAR

The GORE® ACTIVE CONTROL System is designed to increase the physician's confidence in deployment. It allows accurate device positioning and location refinement before full deployment and continuous blood flow throughout the entire procedure.
