The HeRO (Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow) Graft is a long-term access solution for access-challenged and catheter-dependent patients. HeRO Graft is a fully subcutaneous surgical implant. It provides arterial venous (AV) access with continuous outflow into the central venous system. HeRO Graft traverses central venous stenosis allowing for long-term hemodialysis access. HeRO Graft consists of two primary components: • A proprietary Venous Outflow Component • A proprietary Arterial Graft Component The HeRO Graft Accessory Components provides instruments and accessories (such as, peel away sheaths and dilators, stylet, disposable clamp, hemostasis plug and hemostatic Y-valve with stopcock) that may aid in the placement of the HeRO Graft.

HeRO® Graft Accessory Component Kit - HERO 1003


Device Description

An implanted device designed to provide a passage for blood to flow between an artery typically located in an arm, and a peripheral vein, central vein or right atrium, creating a graft fistula that provides blood access for external procedures, especially haemodialysis. It is a synthetic vascular graft/graft assembly with a thin wall and appropriate size (commonly 6 mm diameter) and configuration to facilitate vessel puncturing. It is typically used when it is not possible or convenient to create a direct arteriovenous fistula or for patients who have exhausted peripheral venous access. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
