ACell, Inc. announced the launch of their new product, Gentrix Hiatal at the 2019 Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS) Minimally Invasive Surgery Week 2019 (MISWeek 2019) in New Orleans, Louisiana. Gentrix Hiatal provides physicians a new solution for hiatal hernia repair and reinforcement, with a device that is easy to handle, place, and secure in laparoscopic surgery. Gentrix Hiatal features a unique pre-cut U-shape with smooth, rounded edges to reinforce the defect while safely conforming to the esophagus. It is comprised of ACell's proprietary MatriStem UBM® (Urinary Bladder Matrix), a fully resorbable, non-synthetic material. Gentrix Hiatal fully remodels into the host tissue, minimizing risk of erosion or complication. It maintains the integrity of the repair by facilitating the formation of biomechanically functional tissue that is similar to native tissue. In pre-clinical studies, Gentrix Hiatal was shown to minimize attachment to surrounding viscera.
