USE OF A REGENERATIVE BIOFUNCTIONAL COLLAGEN BIOMATRIX FOR TREATING VISCERAL OR PARIETAL DEFECTS

摘要

Techniques for treating visceral or parietal membrane and tissue defectsinclude the application of a collagenbiomatrix to the defect to repair and regenerate a visceral or parietalmembrane, for example in patients suffering tissue defects or undergoingvisceral or parietal surgical treatment. Such approaches avoid persistenttissue leaks and their consequences such as fluid leaks andair leaks. The use of collagen biomatrix, optionally in conjunction with afibrin sealant, an anti-adhesive, or both, can minimize tissueleaks or fluid leaks in injured patients suffering tissue defects or subjectsundergoing surgery such as visceral or parietal resectionsand other operations.
