REVIVE and ASSURE surgical meshes feature the Biomerix Biomaterial, a proprietary, biointegrative, synthetic tissue scaffold.
REVIVE is constructed with the Biomerix Biomaterial on both sides to maximize tissue ingrowth, a critical element in the repair of inguinal hernias.
ASSURE is created for the repair of ventral hernias, with one side composed of the Biomerix Biomaterial to promote tissue ingrowth and the opposite side consisting of a resorbable protective film designed to minimize tissue attachment to the device in case of direct contact with the viscera.
The Biomerix Biomaterial is designed to play a role similar to the body’s extracellular matrix, a biological structure that supports tissue repair and regeneration.
The three-dimensional, open-cell, and interconnected structure allows cells to migrate and proliferate to create new tissue.
The company said the meshes combine the strength of a synthetic material with the properties of a biologic, each offering its own set of distinctive benefits.
Biomerix president and CEO Kenneth Hayes said REVIVE and ASSURE will be distributed in Canada by Medline Industries pursuant to their exclusive distribution agreement.
