CardioCel -Bioscaffold
CardioCel is an acellular, strong, pliable collagen bioscaffold with optimized biocompatibility and zero aldehyde toxicity. The collagen bioscaffold allows for transformative repair with harmonious healing, providing long-term durability that enables native cells to successfully grow and differentiate through the entire repair.
CardioCel Bioscaffold
- Require fewer interventions(1)
- Have the largest published data over the longest timeframe(1)
- Are the first and only to offer 3D bioscaffold
- Improve hospital efficiencies overall(1)
Offered in three versions to address your specific surgical needs:
- CardioCel - for heart repair and reconstruction
- CardioCel Neo - for more intricate procedures
- CardioCel 3D - shaped for great vessel repair
Unique Intraoperative Benefits and Procedural Efficacies
- Ready to use off the shelf; No thawing, rinsing or preparation required
- Elasticity virtually identical to human aortic valve leaflet(4)
- Stronger than the human aorta(4)
- The only bioscaffold with unparalleled calcium resistance(3)
Optimized clinical performance
- No antigenic or immunogenic stimulus(3,4,5)
- No calcium binding sites(3,4)
- No glutaraldehyde toxicity(4)
- Terminally sterilized for reduced risk of infection- SAL 10-6 (2)
- Proven native cell integration(3,4,5)
Enhanced procedural efficiency
- Easy to suture, trim
- Enhanced pliability
- Readily conforms to repair site
- Excellent hemostasis - resists suture line bleeding(9)
CardioCel Neo Bioscaffold
- CardioCel Neo has all the benefits of CardioCel but is refined to 0.3 mm thickness for the most intricate procedures.
Surgical Applications
- Pericardial closure
- Repair of cardiac and vascular defects including intracardiac defects
- Septal defects, valve and annulus repair
- Great vessel reconstruction, peripheral vascular reconstruction and suture line buttressing
All the Benefits of CardioCel Optimally Shaped for Great Vessel Repair
Shape Matters: CardioCel 3D 60°
- Curved bioscaffold enables Roman Arch shaped reconstruction
- Roman Arch shape optimizes hemodynamics(6,7,8)
- Anisotropy which matches that of native aortic tissue in both circumferential and longitudinal tissue planes(10)
Growing evidence shows that shape matters in complex repair(1-8)
Gothic arch morphology derangements and mismatched dimensions are associated with poorer outcomes, including:
- Indexed End-Diastolic Volume
- Hypertension
- Intimal hyperplasia
- Cavopulmonary pressure
Surgical Applications
- Hypoplastic aortic arch (HAA)
- Interrupted aortic arch (IAA)
- Pulmonary artery (PA)
- Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) - Hood and TAP
- Baffle
