Press Releases

W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) today announced that it has received approval from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with the Gore REDUCE* Clinical Study. The Gore REDUCE Clinical Study is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, multinational trial designed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the GORE HELEX Septal Occluder for Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure in patients with a PFO and history of cryptogenic stroke or imaging confirmed Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA).

W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) announced today it received approval to apply the CE Mark for the commercial sale of GORE PRECLUDE® Vessel Guard, the first non-biological membrane indicated as a cover for vessels following anterior vertebral surgery. This advanced biomaterial reduces the risk of potential vascular injury by providing a permanent and visible plane of dissection around the vasculature to facilitate anterior revision surgery.

Mountain and wilderness exploration require tremendous amounts of determination and curiosity. The recipients of the Shipton-Tilman Grants for 2008 exemplify this spirit as they plan the ascent of new summits, prepare to cross glaciers or dig deeper into inhospitable jungle. This drive is so strong that it sends three teams back into the wild to accomplish unmet goals. They are joined by four teams embarking on new adventures this summer. To help these small teams pursue their goals, W. L. Gore & Associates, inventors of GORE-TEX® fabric, is once again awarding grants totaling $27,000 to help finance the expeditions.
