Tensive (Italy)
Surgeons that need to reconstruct large bone and adipose tissue defect, resulting from osteoporosis, trauma or tumor resection, can take great advantage of Tensive's implantable biomaterials. Our products are based on resorbable synthetic polymers fabricated, by a patented process, with an internal micro-channel network, replicating the blood vessel architecture. This artificial network helps the patients’ bloodstream to immediately penetrate the biomaterials inserted in the defect, satisfying the high nutrients demand of growing tissues. Thanks to this innovative technology it will be possible to attain a large tissue reconstruction, so far limited in size due to the insufficient vascularization provided by the products currently available on the market. Tensive products will improve patients' quality of life and benefit the entire healthcare system, decreasing patients' pain, surgery costs and the need of multiple surgical treatments for large reconstruction.
