How Is Tissue Patch Technology Changing The Heart Treatment?
Tissue patch technology is a medical technique that is used to repair or knit torn and damaged muscle tissue. The main goal of tissue patch technology is to treat patients with heart disease by replacing the damaged valve with a new one. What is Bovine Pericardium tissue and why it is important for the heart? The bovine pericardium is the main ingredient in bio-prosthetic heart valves, dural closure, bone and dental membranes, and surgical buttressing. Collagen Solutions provides a range of tissue harvesting and selection strategies to meet manufacturers' demands. A wider acceptance of TAVR/TAVI heart valves has led to advancements in both surgical and transcatheter (TAVR/TAVI) pericardium leaflets. Patients do not have to undergo long-term blood-thinner treatment after surgical or transcatheter heart valves are constructed of the pericardium. Bovine Pericardium tissue has the mechanical properties necessary to produce the finest hemodynamics to avoid long-term bloo
