SurgiMend is intended for implantation to reinforce weak or damaged soft tissues. According to its promotional materials, SurgiMend acts as a scaffold that can be progressively integrated, remodeled, and ultimately replaced by functional host tissue.
The product is specifically indicated for:
SurgiMend is an acellular collagen matrix derived from the dermis of fetal calves. The product is manufactured using methods designed to remove cellular components and potentially infectious agents from the raw material while preserving the biological properties and structure of the native collagen. TEI Bioscience touts SurgiMend as being biocompatible, cell-friendly, and intrinsically strong.
Since 2007, a number of adverse events have been reported to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) that involve SurgiMend. In some of these cases, doctors have reported that, on performing additional surgery, SurgiMend was found to have not incorporated well.
In hernia surgeries, there are reports of re-herniation where there was no evidence of the product or of re-structured tissue upon surgical repair.
Our investigation of SurgiMend is only in its preliminary stages. If you experienced any problems after implantation of this device, especially after hernia surgery, we need to hear from you as soon as possible.
