The Hernia Repair Breakthrough: Could a Bovine Pericardial Patch Be Your Best Option?
Surgical science has consistently engaged in the development of materials that offer the attributes of strength, flexibility, and biological compatibility with which Hernia repair may be achieved. The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch for Hernia Repair is one of the emerging solutions that has attracted some focus due to their unique structures and biological characteristics. This method does not serve as a totally synthetic reinforcement; it focuses on the behavior of natural tissue, but satisfies the mechanical requirements of repairing the abdominal wall. Understanding the Material Foundation Bovine pericardial tissue is obtained by extracting the fibrous sac that encloses the heart, and it is then processed with medical care. It has a high tensile strength due to its dense collagen matrix, which is pliable. The resultant features enable the patch to match the irregularities of the anatomy without being too rigid to provide a more physiologic repair environment. ...
