CHC™ - Soft Tissue Repair

In the treatment of soft tissue injuries, often a supporting mesh or matrix is introduced to improve stability of the repair site.

Typical applications are in extremity, rotator cuff, hernia and abdominal wall repair, but also in plastic surgery and facial reconstruction.

In complex and difficult to heal soft tissue injuries, a biologic mesh is generally preferred. Correctly designed and applied, such a mesh will support the body’s natural regeneration and subsequently be reabsorbed. Key to this beneficial effect is the prevention of an excessive inflammatory response, which can lead to detrimental encapsulation rather than healing and rapid growth of blood vessels into the matrix.

CHC™ coated collagen matrices have shown to reduce inflammation and successfully promote endothelial cell growth and revascularization in a collagen structure.
