MEDICAL VENTURES GETS CE MARK FOR PERIPATCH

Medical Ventures announced that PM Devices' PeriPatch EQ Sheet received European CE mark approval, allowing the PeriPatch EQ Sheet to be marketed and sold throughout the European Union. The PeriPatch EQ Sheet is used to surgically repair soft tissue deficiencies. It is a rectangular shaped patch made out of equine pericardium, which is processed with a proprietary chemical treatment to produce a surgical patch that is flexible, safe, thin, biocompatible and durable. Its biocompatibility allows optimal host tissue incorporation, and no special sutures are required to make a secure seal.
