Procedural Area: Anterior Pelvic Floor

Restore the pelvic floor.

The Biodesign Anterior Pelvic Floor Graft communicates with the body, signaling surrounding cells to grow across the scaffold. The result? Completely remodeled, vascularized tissue that's strong yet flexible. And unlike synthetic mesh and chemically crosslinked biologic grafts, it is resistant to infection, encapsulation and erosion into surrounding tissue.

Biodesign is remarkably simple to handle and can easily be trimmed to any shape or size.

Features and benefits

  • Restores natural form and function.
  • Migration and erosion resistant.
  • Does not encapsulate.
  • Minimal scarring.
  • Easy to hydrate and suture.

Tips

  • When sizing Biodesign, be sure to trim a large enough piece for the defect. Too small a piece may create tension on sutures and cause recurrence.
  • Use only antiseptics and antimicrobials that have proven compatible with wound healing. Problems have been reported with gentamicin, povidone iodine, bacitracin, polymyxin B and vancomycin.
  • Slow-resorbing or nonabsorbable sutures are recommended.
  • After surgery, patients should abstain from heavy lifting, strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse for 4 to 6 weeks.
