The Wittmann Patch consists of two adhering sheets of biocompatible
polymeric material. One sheet consists of micro-hooks and
the other of loops. The two sheets adhere to each other when
compressed together. High tangential shearing forces are
required to separate the two sheets. Testing has demonstrated
that separation of the two sheets would occur only with forces
greater than those that would disrupt normal, intact or sutured
fascia. Peeling the top sheet away from the lower sheet opens
the two sheets to access the abdominal cavity. |

Remodelable biomaterial for soft tissue repair |
| TEI Biosciences |
SurgiMend offers clear advantages over synthetic and other
collagen products for soft tissue repair and reconstruction
applications. Intrinsically strong, yet soft and supple when
rehydrated, SurgiMend handles like natural tissue; it readily
conforms to the surgical site, and is easily sutured. The
product's biochemistry and microporosity facilitate rapid
cell penetration and revascularization. Ultimately, SurgiMend
acts as a scaffold that can be naturally and progressively
integrated, remodeled, and eventually replaced by functional
host tissue. |
