Glutaflex – Glutaraldehyde patch
Glutaflex
Glutaraldehyde patch
The Glutaraldehyde (GA) Fixed Bovine Pericardium is a high-quality biological tissue derived from bovine pericardium. It is treated with glutaraldehyde and stored in a glutaraldehyde buffer solution to ensure stability and reduce antigenicity. This versatile material is ideal for use in both cardiovascular and reconstructive surgeries.
Source and Safety
1
Controlled Risk
The pericardium is sourced from cattle reared in areas classified by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) as having a controlled risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality.
2
Animal Age
The bovine pericardium is sourced from animals aged 6 to 24 months.
3
Safe and Reliable
The use of glutaraldehyde reduces the antigenicity of the tissue and enhances its stability, making it safe and reliable for medical applications.
4
Sterilization
All our patches are sterilized to ensure the highest level of safety and hygiene.
