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. |

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. |
