Surgical Innovation Associates develops DuraSorb, a fully resorbable knitted mesh made from polydioxanone, designed for soft tissue reinforcement in plastic, reconstructive, and general surgery. This device addresses the limitations of current soft tissue support options by providing a balance of strength, compliance, and ease of use during surgical procedures.

Problem
Current soft tissue support options in plastic, reconstructive, and general surgery may lack an optimal balance of strength, compliance, and ease of use, potentially complicating surgical procedures and patient outcomes. These limitations can hinder effective tissue reinforcement and long-term support.
Solution
DuraSorb Monofilament Mesh is a fully resorbable knitted mesh composed of polydioxanone (PDO) designed for soft tissue reinforcement. The monofilament fiber construction of the mesh is designed to minimize bacterial adhesion compared to multifilament alternatives. The bioresorbable mesh is designed to be cut, tailored, and draped by surgeons during the procedure. DuraSorb is fully resorbed within one year, eliminating the need for permanent support from the mesh.
Target Audience
The primary users are licensed medical professionals, including plastic, reconstructive, and general surgeons, who require soft tissue reinforcement in surgical procedures.
