NovoSorb® BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) is a unique acellular, synthetic dermal template designed to temporarily close the wound and aid in generating a vascularized neodermis, for wound closure and reconstruction of complex wounds in a single application.
This disruptive medical device provides advanced opportunities in wound treatment, utilizing NovoSorb® patented technology to reorient the reparative process into regenerative healing. The 2mm biocompatible matrix is bonded to a fenestrated sealing membrane, physiologically closing the wound, providing a scaffold for dermal reconstruction, and then safely disappearing as the body continues to heal.
Expanding treatment options beyond conventional solutions has created a paradigm shift in clinical care, changing the lives of patients with NovoSorb® BTM’s improved cosmetic and functional outcomes.
