Technologies for Veterinary Neurologists

When it comes to veterinary neurologist technologies, Vetrix is an industry leader. We help veterinarians around the world provide exceptional, state-of-the-art care for their four-legged patients. Our technology is able to harness the natural capabilities of the patient’s body for more effective treatment and faster healing. Read on for examples of the technology we offer. 

Veterinary Neurologist Technologies: Vetrix BioSIS

Vetrix BioSIS for neurology is a platform technology that can be used for a several surgical applications, including as a dural graft for craniotomy, laminectomy barrier for spinal surgeries, dural graft for spinal tumor surgery, and as a dural graft for arachnoid diverticula. 

When used for these applications, the contact between BioSIS and the surrounding tissue allows cells to migrate, separate, and differentiate within the bio-scaffold. This matrix is easy to handle and simple to use, but strong enough to hold sutures and provide support to weakened tissue. 

Veterinary Neurologist Technologies: Extracellular Matrix

Vetrix’s ECM can be used as treatment for esophageal diseases, volumetric muscle loss, and temporomandibular joint meniscectomy. The patient’s host cells latch onto the extracellular matrix scaffold and propagate, allowing for the growth of functional, site-appropriate host tissue. 

This technology is an intricately dynamic fundamental ecosystem. It relies on, and is the deciding factor for, cell phenotype and performance. The structure is made up of collagens, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, mucins, elastic fibers, and growth factors—all arranged in a 3D formation. 

In addition to the standard use as a simplistic surgical surface to solidify tissues, ECM can also be utilized as a self-reliant mold for constructive remodeling. It’s the perfect biomaterial for tissue reconstruction. It not only communicates to cells: It is also able to receive cellular information that contributes to its system and substance. Vetrix’s ECM makes a return to life prior to injury possible!

While there’s still a lot to be discovered about extracellular matrix and its contributions to cellular makeup, what has been found thus far is very promising. The industry is very excited about this technology’s contributions to tissue reconstruction!

BioSIS for neurology is a platform technology. The architectural structure of Vetrix® BioSIS allows for numerous surgical applications. The shelf stable, naturally occurring, complex matrix is easy to handle, yet strong enough to hold sutures and provide support for weakened tissue. Surgical examples for use of Vetrix® BioSIS include:

  • Dural graft for craniotomy (frontal sinus, parietal, suboccipital, and more)*

  • Laminectomy barrier for spinal surgeries

  • Dural graft for spinal tumor surgery

  • Dural graft for arachnoid diverticula

*Note that only BioSIS multi-layer products are indicated for prevention of CSF leakage.
