CardioCel 3D first implant any day now.

Admedus has recently made history by producing the first ever curved cardiac patch and its first human  implant is set to take place any day now and it's going to be amazing, it's going to be revolutionary and it's going to transform the field  of cardiac surgery forever. Incredible.

From the ann 2nd of May....

CardioCel 3D offers a high need product which meets an unaddressed demand,” added Paterson. “It is the first product of its kind in a market where there are presently no off-the-shelf competing solutions. This is a major development in our strategy to increase Admedus’ market share in the strategically important congenital heart surgery and valve repair segments.”

CardioCel 3D is for surgeons and patients who require more than a single dimension patch material to optimize cardiac and vascular repair. As there are virtually no flat surfaces in the vascular or cardiac structure, this unique 60 shaped collagen product targets complex neonatal arch and pulmonary artery repair and is intended to help optimize suturing of central and extra-cardiac shunts.

Its dimensions and specifications are designed to ‘mate’ with the triple plane anatomy found in neonatal arch and pulmonary artery repairs. Some 85% of surgeons polled by Admedus stated they would use CardioCel 3D immediately, and the first human use of the product is anticipated for this June.
