ACell and Southmedic today announced the Canadian launch of the Gentrix Surgical Matrix family of devices, comprised of ACell’s platform MatriStem UBM (Urinary Bladder Matrix) technology.

The products may be utilized to manage a variety of complex hernia and abdominal wall repairs, including in a contaminated field.
“We have been pleased to work with Southmedic over the last year to successfully launch our wound product portfolio in Canada” said Patrick A. McBrayer, ACell President and CEO. “Our partnership will now offer Canadian surgeons and patients access to safe, cost-efficient, and clinically effective devices for complex hernia repair.”

As part of the product launch, Southmedic will be hosting a symposium showcasing the Gentrix products at the Canadian Surgery Forum on September 6th, 2019.
