What is the TissueMend® Soft Tissue Repair Matrix?
The TissueMend® Soft Tissue Repair Matrix is an acellular, collagen
membrane used to repair and reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists.
Composed of pure, non-denatured collagen, the TissueMend® Soft
Tissue Repair Matrix is indicated for tendon repair surgery, including
reinforcement of the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps, or
other tendons. TissueMend® can be used in both open & arthroscopic
applications.
The TissueMend® scaffold provides a biologic environment to help the
tendon heal and fortify the tissue until it has completed the healing
process.

Collagen Scaffold
The human body uses collagen fibers as the predominant building
material for tissue and organs. The collagen fibers serve as the scaffold
within which cells grow, mature, and form new tissue.
»
The collagen fibers that
make up the TissueMend®
Soft Tissue Repair Matrix
are not altered by artificial
crosslinking.
»
As a result of TissueMend®
patented production process,
all cells and cell components
are removed from the source
tissue while preserving the
collagen fiber structure.
»
The acellular collagen
fibers of the TissueMend®
Soft Tissue Repair Matrix
are composed primarily
of Type I and Type III
collagen fibers.
Fetal Collagen
The source material used to produce TissueMend® is fetal bovine dermis. Studies in fetal wound healing have
demonstrated that fetal skin has remarkable regenerative capacities.1 Furthermore, fetal dermis contains minimal
hair and hair follicles, which can cause imperfections in collagen structure.

TissueMend®
Soft Tissue Repair Matrix
Biocompatibility
The technologically advanced production process results in a highly biocompatible
implant. In standard biocompatibility assays, the TissueMend® Soft Tissue Repair
Matrix has been classified as a non-irritant.1
Biological Response
When implanted, TissueMend® provides an environment that host cells and
supporting vasculature can take up residence and mature. Over time, normal tissue
remodeling occurs where TissueMend® is incorporated into the native tissue and
ultimately replaced by natural, healthy, native cells and tissue.
Host fibroblasts have migrated
into and populated TissueMend®
beginning the remodeling process.
Note the lack of foreign body
reaction to TissueMend®.
Inflammatory cells are absent
and the implant has not been
encapsulated.

Result
New tissue development
A strong, robust connective tissue developed at the site of the soft tissue defect
repaired with TissueMend®. The implant served as a scaffold upon and within
which a new tissue developed. By 9 months, TissueMend® had been replaced by
new, reparative tissue evident at both 9 and 15 months post-implantation.
Implant remodeling
Acute (3 week) explants showed no gross evidence of remodeling. Histological
examination revealed TissueMend® had been infiltrated with host cells and blood
vessels. A new tissue layer was seen forming on the surface of the implant.
Long-term (9 and 15 month) explants from all animals revealed that TissueMend®
had been remodeled into new, functional, host tissue.
Foreign body response
No evidence of a foreign body response in any animal at any time point.
Surgical adhesions
No surgical adhesions were observed to TissueMend®.

Early Histology
Histologic analysis of TissueMend®
reveals incorporation of the implant.
The matrix has been populated with
host cells and blood vessels. New
tissue is seen overgrowing the
implant.

• Fiber orientation has transformed
from the random assembly seen in
Figure 1 to the highly organized,
parallel fibers seen in Figure 2.

• New tissue has completely
integrated with host collagen at
the margin of the original defect.

TissueMend®
Soft Tissue Repair Matrix
Indications:
TissueMend® is intended for
reinforcement of soft tissues
repaired by sutures or suture
anchors during tendon repair
surgery, including reinforcement of
the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles,
biceps, quadriceps, or other tendon.
TissueMend® was developed to
overcome the challenges of tendon
augmentation surgery.
Factors such as poor tissue quality
and insufficient tendon length have
created a need for physical and
biologic tendon augmentation.
Rotator Cuff
Biceps
Quadriceps
Patellar
By combining physical properties of
strength and thickness with
biological properties that encourage
cell and blood vessel penetration, the
TissueMend® collagen matrix is
designed to handle the demands of
soft tissue repair.

TissueMend®
Soft Tissue Repair Matrix
What is TissueMend®?
• The TissueMend® Soft Tissue Repair Matrix is an acellular, collagen
membrane used to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists.
• TissueMend® is composed of pure, non-denatured collagen and is for
augmentation of tendon repair surgery.
How does TissueMend® work?
• For today's challenging tendon repair surgery, surgeons need a strong,
suturable, collagen fiber scaffold to augment the repair both physically
and biologically.
• Like a soft tissue autograft or allograft, TissueMend® is specifically
designed to serve as a scaffold for cellular and vascular ingrowth that
is gradually remodeled into new tissue.
What features does TissueMend® display?
• Strength: 20.0 MPa
• Suture Pull Out: 35.5 N
• Handling & Physical Characteristics: Allows both open &
arthroscopic applications
• Hydration: Less than 1 minute
