Abstract
Background: Biologic matrices are used in plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures to aid in the kinetics of soft tissue repair and promote functional tissue formation. The human acellular dermal matrix AlloDerm is widely used; however, it is offered at a relatively high cost, and its dermal composition may not provide an ideal remodeling scaffold. OviTex Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) Resorbable and Permanent are reinforced biologic matrices engineered with layers of ovine forestomach matrix embroidered with small amounts of polymer to optimize biophysical performance. This study compared the healing outcomes of these matrices in a non-human primate model of soft tissue repair. Methods: Animals were implanted with test articles in surgically created full-thickness midline abdominal wall defects and evaluated macroscopically and histologically at 2, 4, 12, and 24 weeks. Results: Both OviTex PRS Permanent and Resorbable matrices exhibited earlier host cell infiltration, neovascularization, and collagen deposition and also fully remodeled into the host tissue by 12 weeks post implantation. AlloDerm had less host cell infiltration and neovascularization at early time points and never fully integrated into the surrounding host tissue. There was no statistical difference in overall inflammation between AlloDerm and either OviTex PRS product at any time point, despite small amounts of polymer reinforcement in OviTex products. Conclusions: In a primate soft tissue repair model, OviTex PRS Permanent and Resorbable matrices performed comparably with the leading human acellular dermal matrix. OviTex PRS Permanent and Resorbable are less expensive than alternatives like AlloDerm and may promote faster host cell proliferation and functional remodeling in some soft tissue repair applications.
