OviTex
DESCRIPTION
OviTex was designed in collaboration with surgeons and healthcare providers to address the unmet clinical and financial needs in hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction. The biologic material is comprised of polymer fiber interwoven through layers of biologic material in a “lockstitch” pattern, which creates a unique embroidered construction, offering a technology designed to surpass the performance of all existing hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction mesh products. Derived from ovine rumen, the interwoven polymer serves as a natural building block and is optimized to reduce foreign body response, enable functional tissue remodeling, and promote a more natural hernia repair. It also provides additional reinforcement, along with improved handling and load-sharing capability to support natural abdominal wall function.
