Product Description
Tutoplast® processed allografts are virally safe, dehydrated, sterile human tissue grafts. 5-year shelf life with room temperature storage.
The pericardium patch grafts are comprised of:
- Low profile collagen with a nominal thickness of 400 microns
- Multi-directional matrix for superior surgical handling and suture utility
- A low-profile which prevents graft bulkiness over the implant
The Tutoplast® process is a scientific and technology-based method of virally inactivating, preserving and sterilizing human tissue. The Tutoplast® benefits are vast:
- Immunologically safe
- Biologically and mechanically stable
- Five-year shelf life with room temperature storage
- Uniform and consistent in tissue quality
- Improved suturability and handling
During the last 30 years, over 1 million Tutoplast® allografts have been surgically implanted without a single documented case of disease transmission.
Surgical applications:
- Drainage implant/valve implantation
- Repair corneoscleral fistulas
- Trabeculectomy
- Repair exposed scleral buckles
- Phaco burns
