GORE PRECLUDE® Pericardial Membrane

Designed to minimise tissue attachment.

For repair or reconstruction of the pericardium and with ventricular assist devices in adult and paediatric cardiac surgeries.

During cardiac reconstructions or repair within the pericardial space, it is important that complications associated with the formation of tissue attachment to the material be minimized to facilitate reoperation.

GORE® PRECLUDE® Pericardial Membrane is an effective solution for minimizing tissue attachment to the material in reconstructive procedures involving the pericardium.
