Silver Graft All Comers Registry

"In contrast to silver acetate impregnated vascular graft, Silver Graft can be immersed in an antibiotic containing solution prior to implantation. This practice should always be followed according to each participant's hospital guidelines and experience. The long term efficacy of the metallic silver coating will not be reduced.~Common practice antibiotic co-medication before, during and after surgery needs to be documented but is at the discretion of each participating institution.~Due to the registry character of this assessment, i.e. routine use of the investigational product, local antibiotics, e.g. dipping of the vascular graft into a rifampin solution is permissible."
