Surgisis Biodesign is not a new graft or mesh, but a whole new category in the evolution of tissue repair. It incorporates the best attributes of a biologic graft – resistant to infection and complete remodeling – with the added benefits of moderate price, ease of use, widespread availability and an improved quality of life for your patient.
Unlike other biologic grafts, Surgisis Biodesign communicates with the body, signaling surrounding tissue to grow across the scaffold, allowing the body to restore itself. This action supports the healing process by attracting cells and nutrients to the wounded area.
Surgisis Biodesign remodels into vascularized host tissue, allowing the body’s own defense mechanisms to reach and respond to infection. This ability to remodel provides the basis for infection resistance.
Once the healing process is complete, Surgisis Biodesign is undetectable – providing a permanent repair without a permanent material. Over time, Surgisis Biodesign remodels to become as strong as the patient’s own tissue. Dermis-based biologic grafts leave behind elastin, which can cause stretching over time. Synthetic mesh is rigid, which can lead to scarring, erosion and encapsulation.
