MAST Biosurgery

Leading in the design, development, and production of bioresorbable polymer implants, and emerging new technologies for the use in variety of surgical applications within the biosurgery market. Before the advent of bioresorbable materials, the closure of soft tissue was limited to permanent materials such as nylon sutures. Advances in material sciences led to the development of bioresorbable polymer sutures that met the clinical needs of holding soft tissues together, while serving the patients need of not remaining permanently in the body. The evolution of bioresorbable polymer technology facilitated the development of large bioresorbable polymer sheets that could span large tissue masses and subsequently hold them in place. The thin sheets facilitate the healing of larger tissue masses and virtually eliminating many adverse effects of permanent implants. Bioresorbable surgical thin sheet for soft tissue applications, made from polylactide (PLA): a copolymer of 70:30 Poly(L...
