About Surgisis® Biodesign™

The Surgisis® Biodesign™ material communicates with the patient's body, signalling surrounding tissue to grow across the graft's scaffold, allowing the body to restore itself. Because it remodels into vascularised tissue, Surgisis Biodesign allows the body's own defence mechanisms to respond to infections.

Unlike synthetic mesh and cross linked grafts, Surgisis Biodesign is undetectable once the healing process is complete. It provides a permanent repair without a permanent material. Over time, it remodels to become as strong as the patient's own tissue.

The aim of the Symposium is to explore the awareness and application of Surgisis Biodesign, using the very latest information on nephron sparing partial nephrectomy and Peyronie's repair and stress urinary incontinence.
