One acellular collagen matrix. Many performance advantages.

The unique open structure of the XENMATRIX™ graft encourages tissue integration for

hernia and abdominal wall repair. Proprietary manufacturing techniques minimize

processing in order to preserve both the strength and structure of the graft. This method

results in an open scaffold that allows for early population of host cells, collagen and

blood vessel formation.

Benefits:

* Structure – Repairing the abdominal wall with a strong, open collagen scaffold allows early remodeling

* Strength – This unique strength and tissue remodeling profile makes the XENMATRIX™ graft well suited for the demands of abdominal wall repair.

* Performance – Ease of handling for graft placement. Successfully used in surgery for hernia repair since 2006.
