Procedural Area: Abdominal Lock
Support the healing process.
The Biodesign Abdominal Lock Graft is your all-natural key to closing abdominal incisions. Biodesign does more than just hold damaged tissue in place—it actually helps the body restore itself.
Biodesign's durable material is strong enough to support the largest abdominal incisions. By acting as a scaffold that signals the incision to restore itself, it lends strength to the weakened area while supporting the healing process.
Once the area is fully restored, Biodesign adds more support by integrating into the surrounding area. And because its protein-rich structure is completely natural, it does not create the hard or numb scar tissue that synthetic mesh can leave behind.

Tips
- Slow-resorbing sutures are recommended in conjunction with interrupted suture technique.
- Place the Biodesign graft in a retrofascial underlay position.
