GORE Viabil® Biliary
Endoprosthesis with ePTFE
The GORE VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis is a flexible, self-expanding, fully lined metal stent that is compressed and secured onto the distal end of a delivery catheter. The inner lining is constructed from ultrathin non-porous ePTFE/FEP and is covered by the Nitinol stent structure. It is available in a full range of lengths and diameters.
