Fighting on several fronts
Firefighters do more than extinguish fires. When freeing people from collapsed buildings, crashed cars or other crisis situations, they can face exposure to blood-borne pathogens and potentially harmful particulates. The new GORE-TEX Moisture Barrier with GORE® CROSSTECH® Product Technology protects against the weather and blood-borne pathogens and common chemicals — all in a flame retardant uniform.

The “Hole” Truth About Strokes with Unknown Causes 
One-third of ischemic strokes have unknown causes; 40-50% of people who experience these strokes have a hole in their heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). With strong data on the connection between PFO and stroke from the Gore REDUCE Clinical Study and the FDA approval of its GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder for PFO closure, Gore is helping patients to significantly reduce the risk of experiencing another stroke.

The Hyundai NEXO – Powered by Hydrogen
Hyundai’s latest fuel cell vehicle has already made a splash. Makes sense — its only emission is water. The hydrogen-powered NEXO Fuel Cell SUV was seen in action at the global winter games in PyeongChang, South Korea, and will launch in Europe this summer. GORE-SELECT® Membranes contribute to the fuel cell stack’s increased power density while meeting strict requirements for durability and quality.

Medical Device Augmented Reality App
We learn as children to point to our ears, nose, chin … not our iliac artery or descending aorta. Medical care can involve a crash-course in biology, so Gore launched the Gore Augmented Reality Experience App. By using high-tech interactive visuals to help doctors talk to patients about procedures, and help patients talk to their families, we’re working to improve experiences and outcomes.

Take the Next Step Beyond Waterproofness & Breathability
