Biodesign® – Otologic Tissue Repair Graft

Biodesign® is a platform technology behind numerous tissue-repair products that span multiple medical specialties. Biodesign is natural extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). The ECM is a complex latticework of proteins and structural molecules that helps guide the growth of cells.

Cook’s proprietary processing methodology decellularizes the SIS material while preserving natural matrix molecules such as collagen, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans. The result is a scaffold that, when implanted, provides a location for host cells to infiltrate and remodel into vascularized tissue.

The Biodesign Otologic Repair Graft is a grafting biomaterial for tympanic membrane perforation closure. It provides the surgeon with a truly minimally invasive approach to ear surgery with no donor site required and thus no additional scar for the patient.

Biodesign material is easy to manipulate, allowing for improved precision during graft placement. The convenient sizing and packaging help simplify closures. The circular size options come with a case, and the square sheet sizes can be cut to a preferred size and shape.

The Biodesign Otologic Repair Graft offers a complete closure with neovascularisation and avoids additional comorbidities and scarring associated with the harvest of patient tissue.
