XenMatriX(R) employs a patented technology that maintains an acellular,structurally intact, non-crosslinked porcine dermal matrix for enhancedbiocompatibility in host tissue. This non-crosslinked dermal matrix supportstissue revascularization, remodeling and regeneration for abdominal wall andhernia repairs. The compatibility and strength of this material minimizeshernia recurrence and pain, which also minimizes expense for both the patientand the healthcare environment.
Phillip Lawin, President of Brennen Medical said, "We are extremelypleased with the outcomes of XenMatriX. Unlike traditional mesh products,XenMatriX(R) can be used successfully in contaminated or potentiallycontaminated and complex fields. This provides patients and surgeons a trulysafe and effective alternative for abdominal wall hernia repair."
