Synovis Life Tech announces publication of Veritas article in The American Journal of Surgery Co announced that The American Journal of Surgery has published an article on the performance of Synovis' Veritas Collagen Matrix for the repair of complex ventral hernias. The retrospective Veritas study reviewed outcomes of 26 patients with 30 primary or recurrent ventral hernias. All patients had either an infected wound or failure of a synthetic mesh material implant. Ventral hernia repair with synthetic mesh has recurrence rates up to 54 percent, and this material cannot be used when an infection is present. At 22 months, the recurrence rate among patients treated with Veritas was 19 percent. The majority of patients had their hernia defect bridged with Veritas. The literature documents an 80 percent failure rate for the bridging procedure when the human skin product of a major competitor is used.
