Plastic & reconstructive surgery

While suturing and handling characteristics are important for all surgical implants, it is critical to the success of plastic and reconstructive surgery applications. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons routinely comment on how SugiMend feels like natural tissue – its suppleness, drapability, strength, and appearance. Consistent and bright white when dry, while uniform in texture and color when rehydrated, SurgiMend is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses ideally suited for a variety of applications.

TEI’s proprietary process removes cellular components and potentially infectious agents, and all of our biologic matrix products are terminally sterilized. The fetal bovine source material is readily available.  Bovine dermis provides for superior strength and makes large sizes possible.  Fenestrated products are designed to facilitate  drainage at the surgical site.
