Soft Tissue Repair Augmentation

Examples: Triceps Repair, Wound Repair, Ulcer Treatment

When there is damage to soft tissue (such as a ligament or tendon), or a skin wound or ulcer cannot heal by itself, a doctor may elect to augment the patient’s own tissue or collagen to treat the damaged area. Your doctor may recommend a biologic implant to aid the treatment process.

Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic implants, and unlike synthetic implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body.

It is important to discuss questions or concerns with your physician before your surgery.
