CardioCel® Bioscaffold Patch

Acellular, Strong, Pliable Collagen Patch

Product Information

CardioCel is an acellular, strong, pliable collagen bioscaffold patch with optimized biocompatibility and zero aldehyde toxicity. The collagen bioscaffold patch allows for transformative repair with harmonious healing, providing long-term durability that enables native cells to successfully grow and differentiate through the entire repair.

Models & Specs

Require fewer interventions(1)
Have the largest published data over the longest timeframe(1)
Are the first and only to offer 3D bioscaffold
Improve hospital efficiencies overall(1)

Offered in three versions to address your specific surgical needs:

CardioCel - for heart repair and reconstruction

CardioCel Neo - for more intricate procedures

CardioCel 3D - shaped for great vessel repair

Restorative Structural Heart Repair and Reconstruction

Unique Intraoperative Benefits and Procedural Efficacies

Ready to use off the shelf; No thawing, rinsing or preparation required
Elasticity virtually identical to human aortic valve leaflet(4)
Stronger than the human aorta(4)
The only bioscaffold with unparalleled calcium resistance(3)

Optimized clinical performance

No antigenic or immunogenic stimulus(3,4,5)
No calcium binding sites(3,4)
No glutaraldehyde toxicity(4)
Terminally sterilized for reduced risk of infection- SAL 10^-6 (2)
Proven native cell integration(3,4,5)

Enhanced procedural efficiency

Easy to suture, trim
Enhanced pliability
Readily conforms to repair site
Excellent hemostasis - resists suture line bleeding(9)

CardioCel Neo Bioscaffold Patch

CardioCel Neo has all the benefits of CardioCel but is refined to 0.3 mm thickness for the most intricate procedures.

Surgical Applications
Pericardial closure
Repair of cardiac and vascular defects including intracardiac defects
Septal defects, valve and annulus repair
Great vessel reconstruction, peripheral vascular reconstruction and suture line buttressing

All the Benefits of CardioCel Optimally Shaped for Great Vessel Repair

Shape Matters: CardioCel 3D 60°

Curved bioscaffold enables Roman Arch shaped reconstruction
Roman Arch shape optimizes hemodynamics(6,7,8)
Anisotropy which matches that of native aortic tissue in both circumferential and longitudinal tissue planes(10)

Growing evidence shows that shape matters in complex repair(1-8)

Gothic arch morphology derangements and mismatched dimensions are associated with poorer outcomes, including:

Indexed End-Diastolic Volume
Hypertension
Intimal hyperplasia
Cavopulmonary pressure


Surgical Applications
Hypoplastic aortic arch (HAA)
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA)
Pulmonary artery (PA)
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) - Hood and TAP
