What is Vetrix BioSIS Technology and What Are Its Benefits?

At Vetrix, one of our most innovative and revolutionary products is our BioSIS matrix. Many veterinarians and clients are intrigued by this technology and often get confused as to what exactly BioSIS is and how it helps their pets. In order to make our technology more easy to understand for the average person, we decided to write this blog! 

So…What Exactly is BioSIS?

BioSIS is essentially a scaffold for tissue remodelling in animals. BioSIS provides a natural extracellular matrix with a 3D structure. 

Now you might be wondering, “what is an extracellular matrix?” Well, an extracellular matrix is a three-dimensional network consisting of extracellular molecules and minerals, such as collagen and enzymes that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells.

After BioSIS is implanted, the tissues adjacent to the SIS matrix deliver cells that, in turn, produce a native extracellular matrix. BioSIS is gradually remodelled while the host system rebuilds the damaged site with host tissue. The integrity of the repair is maintained and the new tissue becomes completely functional! BioSIS material is incredibly strong, leading to almost negligible possibility of any breakage. 

What Are the Benefits of BioSIS?

There are some key features which make BioSIS far superior to other forms of biomaterial used in veterinary medicine. Here they are: 

Enables complete remodelling

An ideal biomaterial should produce a permanent repair without leaving behind a permanent material in the patient’s body. BioSIS successfully facilitates tissue remodelling in this way. 

Following implantation, the site-specific remodeled tissue displays similar physiologic characteristics as the native tissue. During the healing process, Vetrix products get replaced by the body’s native tissue—developing into a permanent repair without the long-term presence of a foreign body.

Provides Natural Resistance to Infection

The uniqueness of BioSIS is that the biomaterial structurally facilitates rapid remodelling of tissue within the body of the patient itself. In other words, the body’s own defense mechanism is able to react and respond to potential infection versus requiring external intervention. This helps the patient’s body ward off any infection or illness successfully.

Unmatched Strength and Durability

BioSIS technology is incredibly strong, and successfully maintains structural support which is essential for replicating the patient’s natural movement until it is restored by the patient’s own native tissue.
