GalaFLEX by BD

GalaFLEX™ Scaffold by BD Committed to the development, manufacture, and commercialization of innovative solutions to unmet needs in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The GalaFLEX™ Scaffold Collection is constructed from the company’s proprietary biomaterial known as poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB). This strong pliable thermoplastic material demonstrates strength retention, elasticity, and biocompatibility designed for long-term support. Once implanted, P4HB will degrade in the body primarily by hydrolysis and is eliminated from the body via the Krebs Cycle to carbon dioxide and water. Although P4HB is eliminated from the body, its strength is retained at 2 to 4 times that of native tissue. GalaFLEX™ Scaffold is intended for soft tissue support and to help repair and reinforce deficiencies in plastic and reconstructive surgeries. Advantages include: • Strong • Bioabsorbable • Biologically Derived • Monofilament Available in GalaFLEX LITE™ and 3-Dimensional shapes and sizes For more information on the GalaFLEX™ Scaffold Collection, please visit us at www.galateasurgical.com References available www.galateasurgical.com.
