Gore Acuseal

Gore Acuseal is an early-cannulation expanded PTFE graft featuring a tri-layer design that permits use within 24 hours of implantation for dialysis. It is widely adopted when native fistulas are unlikely to mature quickly. In contrast to VenoStent's wrap that aims to improve fistula success rates without leaving permanent material, Acuseal remains permanently in place and carries infection and thrombosis risks typical of synthetic grafts. It is fully commercial with established reimbursement. Searchers comparing VenoStent alternatives often evaluate Acuseal for speed-to-use rather than long-term vessel preservation.
