SurgiBind Product Variations
Tendon Protect
SurgiBind Tendon Protect is a solid sheet of intact fish skin intended for the protection and management of newly repaired tendons.

Standard
SurgiBind is a solid sheet of intact fish skin that is indicated for implantation and can be used to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, in patients requiring soft tissue repair, or reinforcement in plastic or reconstructive surgery.

Fenestrated
Pre-fenestrated intact fish skin graft for supporting healing and tissue regeneration of chronic wounds.

Indications
For implantation to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, in patients requiring soft tissue repair, or reinforcement in plastic or reconstructive surgery.
SurgiBind Tendon Protect is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue.
