Dialysis access
Wrapsody
by Merit Medical Systems, Inc.
A non-bioabsorbable tubular device designed to be implanted in a central and/or peripheral vein (e.g., subclavian, brachiocephalic) to maintain vessel lumen patency, typically to treat stenosis in the outflow of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft used for haemodialysis; it is not intended for coronary or intracranial venous stenting. It is a mesh structure made of metal [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy] that is covered with a synthetic polymer [e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)] membrane (endovascular graft), and contains an inner carbon coating to help prevent platelet adhesion. It is typically expanded in situ and disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
