Hernia Repair

Biodesign is a next generation biologic graft that moves beyond

• beyond to completely remodeled tissue
• beyond to a strong repair
• beyond to alternative treatment options

Based on a proven technology, Biodesign has been shown to reduce recurrence while helping healthcare providers contain procedural costs.

Dermis-based biologic grafts allow some natural remodeling. However, they contain elastin that is left behind in the body to stretch, sometimes resulting in a recurrence of the original tissue failure.

Some biologic grafts are chemically cross-linked in an attempt to compensate for this stretching. This can create a biologic graft that will not fully remodel and behaves like a synthetic in the body. In fact, cross-linked grafts inhibit remodeling and vascular ingrowth, and have been associated with chronic inflammation and encapsulation.

Biodesign is a non-cross-linked, non-dermis-based biologic graft designed to reduce recurrence by giving the body a way to remodel strong, vascularized patient tissue, without long-term complications.

Data describing Biodesign's use isn't just available—it's abundant. With more than 861 total peer-reviewed articles published to date, and with several procedure-specific high level studies regarding its use, Biodesign is the evolution of one of the most thoroughly studied biologic graft technologies available.

Although procedural costs are often difficult to quantify, studies have shown that hernia repair with Biodesign offers a significant cost reduction when compared to other biologic graft materials and 2-stage synthetic mesh repairs. Studies have also shown that significant reductions can be achieved by choosing the Biodesign fistula plug over endo-anal advancement flap procedures.

Any surgery has potential for complications. The following complications are possible with the use of Biodesign surgical mesh: bleeding, infection, abscess, induration, acute or chronic inflammation (initial application of surgical graft materials may be associated with transient, mild, localized inflammation), allergic reaction, visceral adhesions, fistula formation, seroma formation, hematoma, extrusion, recurrence of tissue defect, and delayed or failed incorporation of the device. See Instructions for Use for specific complications related to a particular product.
