Biomaterials for replacement or repair of damaged tissues are utilized in a number of surgical procedures. The ideal material needs to be strong, easy to handle, and biocompatible, while supporting growth of new tissue.
The ideal biomaterial would allow tissue incorporation and result in remodeled, functional tissue without leading to encapsulation, premature breakdown of the material, tissue erosion or adhesion formation.
The SIS Tissue Repair Products:
Ideally, a biomaterial should produce a permanent repair without permanent material. SIS tissue repair products facilitate complete remodeling. This new, site-specific remodeled tissue displays similar physiologic and morphologic characteristics as native tissue. During the healing process, SIS tissue repair products are replaced by the body's own tissue—leaving behind a permanent repair without the long-term presence of a foreign body.
Over time, SIS tissue repair products are remodeled to maintain strength while becoming the patient's own tissue.
