Addressing the Challenge of Silicone-Sensitive Biologics
Biologic drugs are at the forefront of biomedical research. Developed to treat complex diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, they are typically administered by injection. However, some biologics can negatively interact with silicone, a common lubricant within a pre-filled syringe delivery system. The new GORE™ ImproJect™ Plunger eliminates the need for silicone in both plunger and glass barrel, while ensuring the functionality and performance of pre-filled syringes.

Fitting like a sock
Lightweight elastic shoes are gaining traction. Not surprisingly, as they effectively contour to the shape of the foot to provide enhanced comfort. The new GORE-TEX® 3D fit footwear technology also delivers waterproofness, windproofness and breathability.
Unveiled and awarded at this summer’s OutDoor Show in Friedrichshafen, Germany, first models will be available in-store and online beginning in February 2019.

Sparking New Ideas and Opportunities
Silicon Valley is home to some of the world’s biggest technology companies, leading academic institutions and thousands of start-ups.

A Special July 4 Anniversary
Three years ago, aerial photographer Iwan van der Schoor hit the water chest-first when his parachute failed. Paramedics rushed him to physicians, who got him to the specialty cardiology team that repaired his ruptured aorta with a Gore device. Shortly after, a coordinated medical team returned him to his family.

Every day, our products perform in challenging environments where the cost of failure is high. We're proud to deliver solutions that improve lives.
