Background: Innovative types of biologic mesh have provided new alternatives to ventral
incisional hernia repair, especially in the face of contamination. The authors studied the …

Porous scaffolds for skin tissue engineering were fabricated by freeze-drying the mixture of
collagen and chitosan solutions. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used to treat the scaffolds to …

Bioprosthetic materials differ from other synthetic meshes in that they are derived from
animal or human tissue and preserve, to some degree, the native biologic properties and …

Tissue expander/implant breast reconstructions by 5 surgeons at a single institution from
2005 to 2008 were retrospectively identified and divided into 2 cohorts: use of acellular …

AlloDerm is an intact human tissue matrix with the critical biochemical and structural
components of the dermal extracellular scaffold that enable it to recellularize and …

Background: The use of polypropylene mesh in the reconstruction of trunk defects increases
complication rates when the mesh is placed directly over viscera or the operative site has …

This study investigates whether human acellular dermis (Alloderm; LifeCell, Branchburg, NJ)
revascularizes when used to reconstruct abdominal wall defects in rabbits. This could prove …

Abstract This 12‐week, prospective, randomised, controlled multi‐centre study compared
the proportion of healed diabetic foot ulcers and mean healing time between patients …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and the complications
associated with the use of two new bioactive meshes, Surgisis Gold 8-ply mesh, a product …

Treatment of large bone defects using synthetic scaffolds remain a challenge mainly due to
insufficient vascularization. This study is to engineer a vascularized bone graft by integrating …
