New Social Network for the medical community picks up on the value proposition of TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh

The result is a "SURGEON SOCIAL NETWORK developed BY surgeons FOR surgeons”. The goal is to break down barriers with a new paradigm of “open source idea development”, which encourages feedback and yields progress by involving those with the ideas and the ability to create products. 

The network's procedural specialty areas range from bariatric, gastrointestinal and ventral hernia through to orthopedic, breast and plastic surgery, an explanation for which can be found in Rehnke's own long-held belief that there is an artificial boundary between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and the aesthetic results that should be the reward of both.

Dr Rehnke has years of experience using acellular dermis and is now evaluating the concept of using TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh which is indicated to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists. This use of a long-term resorbable synthetic with dual-fiber design provides an initial high strength / high stability configuration, with gradually increasing mechanical compliance. Recently published peer review data in a sheep model documents that as TIGR® Matrix is absorbed over time, it is replaced by connective tissue that has higher collagen content than that surrounding permanent control mesh [ref:Springer] - And TIGR® Matrix sells for a fraction of the price of acellular dermis. 

The Surgeon Social Network identfies both clinical and financial value for surgeons in offering TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh to their patients, and hopefully many more movers and shakers in the global medical device and clinical communities will see the value in Recon Surgical…as their website says, "Join the Party!"
