Comparison of in vivo remodeling of urinary bladder matrix and acellular dermal matrix in an ovine model.
Regenerative Medicine 2018 October
AIM: Biologically derived surgical graft materials come from a variety of sources with varying mechanical properties. This study aimed to evaluate the host response and mechanical performance of two extracellular matrix devices in a large animal preclinical model.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Bilateral defects were created in the fascia lata of sheep and repaired with either an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) or urinary bladder matrix (UBM). After 1 or 3 months, the repair site was explanted for histological and mechanical analysis.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: Despite pre-implantation mechanical differences, both UBM and ADM demonstrated similar mechanical performance at 3 months. However, UBM was completely remodeled into site-appropriate tissue by 3 months, while ADM showed limited tissue incorporation.
