Medeor® Matrix for Soft Tissue Repair

Medeor® Matrix

Medeor®  Matrix is a porcine dermis extracellular matrix (ECM) product developed for soft tissue repair applications that require robust strength and durability.  It is made from our proprietary OPTRIX™ process, which gently disinfects tissues, inactivates viruses and removes cells while preserving extracellular matrix components.

Medeor™ Matrix Features and Benefits:

Preservation of native structure - Excellent strength and durability without crosslinking - Porous, open structure provides scaffold for cell infiltration - Higher suture retention strength than competitive products (1, 2)
Retention of bioactive components - Guided regeneration - Facilitates rapid cell infiltration and revascularization
Designed with the surgeon in mind - Available pre-hydrated, no wait time - Available in large sizes (20 x 30cm)

Proven In-Vitro Biologic Activity

Kensey Nash invests in comprehensive analysis of our extracellular matrices to validate the gentle selectivity of the OPTRIX™ process, and to demonstrate the potential for increased biologic activity. Pre-clinical animal studies show:

  • Greater retention of TGF-β and VEGF relative to incumbent commercial products 1, 2
  • Stimulated human dermal fibroblasts to produce more VEGF than incumbent commercial products 2

Potential Clinical Applications

At Kensey Nash we know that every clinical need poses unique challenges and requires specialized tools.  The versatility of our OPTRIX™ processing methods provides the opportunity to address a variety of soft tissue repair needs, such as:

  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
  • Suture/Staple Line Reinforcement
  • Nerve Conduit
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Pelvic Floor Reconstruction
  • Dura Substitute
  • Rotator Cuff Repair
