Tutoplast® Pericardium - 5 x 5cm

5 x 5cm sized dehydrated, sterile, human tissue grafts used for covering a tube in glaucoma shunt surgery

Tutoplast® Pericardium processed allografts are virally safe, dehydrated, sterile human tissue grafts. 5-year shelf life with room temperature storage. Surgical applications include - Drainage implant/valve implantation; Repair corneoscleral fistulas; Trabeculectomy; Repair exposed scleral buckles; Phaco burns. 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. During the last 30 years, over 1 million Tutoplast® allografts have been surgically implanted without a single documented case of disease transmission. 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
