The coated Ultramax™ Knitted Double Velour Vascular Patch is what you want in a vascular patch. It is easy to cut, easy to suture, and with the patented Ultramax coating process the risk of weeping is minimized. You get all of the benefits of a coated vascular patch with a truly biologically friendly coating.

Ultramax’s gelatin impregnation process uses no aldehydes and as a result it creates one of the most biologically friendly coating processes available. All coatings use a cross-linking of some kind to bind the gelatin or collagen to the fabric material. Most conventional coatings use either formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde as the cross-linking agent. Histological examination has confirmed that these type of chemical reactions can effect the normal healing process of a PET vascular graft by inhibiting cellular growth. It was found that of the three types of commercially available coated PET products, Ultramax’s aldehyde free gel impregnation process inhibited cellular growth the least. Biological testing also confirmed that Atrium’s flexible hydrophilic coating is the least cytotoxic of those tested commercial brands.

The Ultramax Knitted Double Velour Vascular Patch is a preferred choice because of its easy-to-use biologically enhanced design. Atrium quality means better outcomes made possible through innovations in chemistry.
