The difference is in the carbon
Designed to decrease platelet adhesion
and fibrin deposition 1
The difference is in the cuff -
promoting effective haemodynamics
Cuff technology delivers superior long-term
patency when compared with a standard
end-to-side anastomosis 2
Distaflo ®
Bypass Grafts
Mini-Cuff
The only peripheral bypass graft specifically
designed to provide optimal haemodynamics
in below-the-knee small target arteries with
low flow rates
