Always seeking to push the boundaries of medical innovation, Innovance Technologies is pleased to announce our partnership with Osmed GmbH, one of the pioneering medical firms in the field of maxillofacial surgery, becoming the official distributor of Osmed’s self-inflating Hydrogel Implants for the Belgian market.
Tissue expansion has been clinically proven to leading to improved quality of soft tissue healing, and primary wound closure facilitation. Osmed’s tissue expanders are easily placed under the skin by a physician, and inflate through the osmotic principle to gain volume, and grow consistently to a predefined form and size.
Speeding up healing, and tending to patient post-surgery comfort for the areas of plastic surgery, ophthalmology and dentistry, the expanders reduce the mean incidence of post-operative graft exposition from 25% to 4%, and increase the mean vertical bone gain from approximately 4.0mm to 7.5mm.
Thanks to their small size (3 mm.), a minimally invasive incision is needed to position them, allowing for a short surgical time that reduces post-operative pain. After the healing period of 6-8 weeks, the expander is removed in the course of augmentation surgery.
Osmed’s hydrogel tissue expanders are constructed from the safest materials, made of cross-linked hydrogel: co-polymers based on methyl methacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone. They are non-toxic, non-genotoxic and non-immunoreaective.
Innovance strives to cater the most effective products, facilitating healing efficiency, patient comfort, and safety. Osmed’s hydrogel tissue expanders truly are a revolutionary product and are set to change the market.
