Viscus Biologics LLC Applications

• Biomaterial product solutions for cardiovascular areas

  Collagen has been used to coat stents to improve biocompatibility. Collagen coatings may be used as a vehicle for drug delivery.

• Biomaterial product solutions for craniomaxillofacial areas

  Biologic scaffolds rich in collagen have been used as dural grafts in cranial repairs as well as tendon wraps, soft tissue reinforcement, or adhesion resistant barriers in maxillofacial applications. Collagen may be used as a bone void filler or a dermal filler in plastic and reconstructive surgery applications.

• Biomaterial product solutions for general and abdominal surgery areas

  With hemostatic properties, collagen and collagen scaffolds may be used as a resorbable hemostatic membrane. Collagen fibrils in collagen powder helps to trap platelets and assist in forming a clot to stop bleeding. Extracellular matrix scaffolds are widely used in hernia repair and other areas of soft tissue weakness. Depending on the source of the extracellular matrix tissue, extracellular matrix scaffolds have been used as adhesion resistant barrier membranes for surgeries taking place within the abdominal...

• Biomaterial product solutions for ophthalmic areas

  Demineralized bone matrix is essentially a collagen matrix. Collagen, allograft, or xenograft tissue is used extensively in orthopaedic procedures as either a filler material, or as a barrier or biologic for improving healing.

• Biomaterial product solutions for spine surgery areas

  Collagen and tissue scaffolds, like AlloMEM, have been used as adhesion resistant barrier membranes in spinal laminectomy procedures.

• Biomaterial product solutions for tendon repair areas

  Allograft/xenograft tissue is extensively used as a protector and adhesion resistant membrane in tendon repair (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles, ACL, etc.).

• Biomaterial product solutions for wound repair areas

  Collagen or allograft/xenograft tissue makes up the majority of the advanced wound dressing market. The collagen and remnant growth factors in the tissue contribute to improved healing by attracting additional wound healing cells such as fibroblasts into the area. The presence of collagen also reduces excess proteinases and gelatinases that unbalance the wound microenvironment and breakdown the rebuilding wound in chronic wounds.
