Cook Medical introduces Biodesign ENT Repair Graft

Cook Medical has announced the launch of its new Biodesign ENT Repair Graft, the latest offering from its otolaryngology – head and neck surgery (OHNS) clinical division.

The new tissue repair offering has been showcased at the American Rhinologic Society's 2013 Summer Sinus Symposium and is designed for the treatment of patients that suffer from difficult-to-heal conditions in the nasal passages.

It aids the natural healing process following nasal and sinus mucosal surgery by allowing the body to completely remodel the graft into patient tissue, while also eliminating the need to harvest graft tissue from other parts of the body.

Thomas Cherry, OHNS global clinical division leader for Cook Medical, said: "This tissue repair technology is thoroughly studied and has been shown to work in many different areas of the body."

This comes after the firm's OHNS division introduced its new Hercules 3-Stage Wire Guided Oesophageal Balloon for the treatment of gastrointestinal strictures last month.
