PRINCETON, N.J., March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART), today announced MicroMatrix® Flex is now available commercially in the U.S. MicroMatrix Flex is a dual-syringe system enabling the convenient mixing and precise delivery of MicroMatrix® paste to provide convenient access to hard-to-reach spaces and to help prepare an even wound surface in challenging wound areas.
“MicroMatrix Flex has allowed me to expand how I use UBM technology in complex wound reconstruction procedures,” said Dr. Aaron Moore, acute care surgeon, Mercy Health - St. Vincent Medical Center. “In addition to the benefits of UBM technology, the flexible delivery tip addresses the need to access hard-to-reach geometries in complex wounds.”
Integra’s UBM products – including MicroMatrix® UBM Particulate and Cytal® Wound Matrix sheets – have been used in more than 360,000 procedures over the past decade. During this period, UBM has been published in more than 200 pre-clinical and clinical publications. “We’re excited to be adding MicroMatrix Flex to our market-leading portfolio of dermal matrices,” commented Steve Powick, senior vice president, Global Marketing, Tissue Technologies Product Division. “This innovation is the culmination of working closely with surgeons to solve meaningful treatment problems and set new standards of care.”
Dr. Thomas Gilbert, vice president, Research & Development and Process Technology, Tissue Technologies, added “Our UBM technology supports complex wound management, and MicroMatrix Flex allows access to otherwise ‘hidden’ areas of a wound. We developed this innovation through years of research and collaboration. It further expands our comprehensive regenerative medicine offerings across Integra.”
