Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation announced the full market release of Integra Reinforcement Matrix, a biological implant composed of porcine dermis that may be used for any type of tendon injury that requires surgical reconstruction. Tendon injuries are some of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, ranging from a mild ankle sprain to an Achilles tendon rupture or flexor tendon injury of the hand. Integra Reinforcement Matrix has high tensile strength that provides durable reinforcement during the healing phase of a repaired tendon, and omni-directional suture pullout strength that minimizes tearing.

The collagen matrix allows early cellular repopulation, remodeling and revascularization for long- term repair. The product is available in two convenient sizes, 4 cm X 7 cm and 5 cm X 10 cm, and is ready-to-use, hydrated, and does not require special handling before surgery.
