GORE-TEX® INTERING Vascular Graft provides kink and compression resistance through integrated radial support. Its patented unibody construction results in the lowest profile, radially-supported graft available. The radial support is concealed within the graft wall, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area by approximately 24% compared to an external
