number serves to retrieve information from the files of the LeMaitre Vascular Quality Assurance System on
the graft's manufacturing and quality control data. To facilitate the tracking of the product by the operator all
product identification data is given on self-adhesive labels in each product package, which can be transferred
to the patient's clinical record.

Technical Characteristics of the AlboGraft Prostheses
Diameter
The diameter is defined as the value of the nominal internal diameter of the undilated prosthesis.
The value is obtained with a conical gauge (anulometer) having a 10 °angle from the apex. The
prosthesis is gently slipped over the instrument without applying any pressure (see diagram).
D120 = Diameter of the prosthesis under pressure
This value indicates the internal diameter of the prosthesis when exposed to an internal pres-
sure of 120 mmHg. The diameter is higher than the nominal value as a result of two different
concomitant factors:
• distention of the pleated folds;
• radial expansion caused by blood pressure.
Radial expansion is an expected result of the average natural pressure on the prosthesis when unclamped. Refer
to the D120 value on the product label for the final implanted diameter.
AlboGraft ASC Models*: The external spiral support ensures the radial expansion of the prosthesis remains
negligible.
Water Permeability
The water permeability as defined by ISO 7198 for AlboGraft Vascular Graft is less than or equal to 0.1 ml x cm
x min .
-1
Usable Length
The device length listed in the catalog and on the label indicates the minimum length of the prosthesis under
tension during implantation. The minimum useable length is determined under tension with the applied
weight for each type as shown in table below.
