Omniflow II vascular prosthesis ensures high flow rates
and long-term performance in arteriovenous access |
|
Omniflow II is a designed biosynthetic vascular prosthesis which combines the excellent bio- and haemocompatibility of the biological collagenous tissue with the strength and durability of the integrated polyester mesh. The advantages of OmniflowII really make a difference in demanding applications such as haemodialysis access.
Omniflow II is also available for peripheral revascularisation and vascular repair.

KEY FEATURES
- The tissue wall of Omniflow II is easily punctured, even for home dialysis patients
- During dialysis OmniflowII allows high flow rates to be easily achieved
- The self-sealing properties ensure that hemostasis is rapidly obtained after the procedure with minimum pressure, which reduces the risk of thrombosis
- Omniflow II has excellent long-term performance with a recorded patency of more than ten years
- Clinical studies* have demonstrated that for AV access, Omniflow®II has superior patency to other commonly used prostheses and not significantly below that of autologous fistulas
- Omniflow II demonstrates excellent resistance to infection in AV access situations
