Vascular prostheses — synthetic grafts designed to replace or bypass diseased blood vessels — must provide reliable long-term performance while maintaining blood integrity. One of the most critical safety parameters is permeability, the controlled passage of fluid through the graft wall. Excessive permeability can lead to blood leakage, while insufficient permeability may impair tissue integration. That’s why ISO 7198 requires rigorous permeability testing as part of vascular prosthesis validation.
At our laboratory, we perform Permeability Testing in full compliance with ISO 7198, ensuring every device is evaluated under clinically relevant conditions to meet international standards
