Highly biocompatible material for enhanced abdominal wall repair: a retrospective study with EGIS® porcine dermal matrix

Franco Bassetto et al. Case Reports Plast Surg Hand Surg. .

Abstract

In the early 2000s, medical devices based on acellular matrices multiplied in number. Nowadays, the use of porcine ADMs is to be considered a well-established technology, commonly applied in different surgical specialties. In this retrospective analysis of 110 cases, the use of non-crosslinked porcine ADM EGIS® results a safe and effective tool in many procedures and specialties.

Keywords: Acellular dermal matrix; soft tissue reinforcement; trunk surgery.
