Biologic scaffolds

Biologic scaffolds are medical materials derived from natural tissues, such as skin, tendons, or blood vessels, that are processed to remove cells while preserving the tissue’s structural proteins. They serve as a framework to support the body's own cells in repairing or regenerating damaged tissues. Because they originate from natural sources, biologic scaffolds tend to integrate well with the body, reduce rejection risks, and promote healing. They are commonly used in procedures like hernia repairs, tendon repairs, and tissue regeneration, providing a foundation for the body to rebuild itself effectively.
