The HeRO (Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow) Graft is a longterm access solution for access-challenged and catheter-dependentpatients. HeRO Graft is a fully subcutaneous surgical implant. It provides arterial venous (AV) access with continuous outflow into the central venous system. The HeRO Graft traverses central venous stenosis allowing for long-term hemodialysis access. HeRO Graft consists of a proprietary Venous Outflow Component and only one of the following options:• The Arterial Graft Component (not included)• The Adapter (a separate commercially available 6mm ID vascular graft is not included with the Adapter)The Venous Outflow Component (not included) has a 5mm inner diameter (ID), 19F outer diameter (OD), and is 40cm long. Itconsists of radiopaque silicone with braided nitinol reinforcement (for kink and crush resistance) and a radiopaque marker bandat the tip.The Adapter connects a 6mm ID vascular graft (not included) to the Venous Outflow Component. The Adapter (titanium) has a tapered ID (6mm to 5mm) to provide a smooth transition from a 6mm ID vascular graft to the 5mm ID Venous Outflow Component. A disposable Graft Expander is provided to aid in connecting a 6mm ID vascular graft to the Adapter. See Instructions for Use for further details regarding the grafts permitted for use with the Adapter.

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 ComponentThe 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 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 ComponentThe HeRO Graft Arterial Graft Component has a 6mm ID, 7.4mm OD, and is 53cm long, inclusive of the connector. It consists of an ePTFE hemodialysis graft with PTFE beading to provide kink resistance near the titanium connector. The titanium connector attaches the Arterial Graft Component to the HeRO Graft Venous Outflow Component. The HeRO Graft Arterial Graft Component is cannulated using standard technique according to KDOQI guidelines.
