Registry build 21.09.26

GalaFORM 3D is a bioresorbable surgical mesh that supports and reinforces soft tissue where weakness or a defect requires additional material. It is used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, general soft tissue reconstruction and repair of fascial defects.

The scaffold is made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate and has a three-dimensional curve supported by a rim of the same polymer. The rim provides a stiffer edge to help the mesh conform where a flat design may be unsuitable.

Listed Item

GalaFORM 3D scaffold is a bioresorbable surgical mesh manufactured from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB). P4HB is produced from a naturally occurring monomer and is processed into monofilament fibers and knitted into a surgical scaffold. The scaffold has a 3D curvature supported with a P4HB rim designed to promote better conformance with a patient’s anatomy in locations in which a flat design does not easily conform. P4HB bioresorbs through a process of hydrolysis and hydrolytic enzymatic digestion. It has been developed to optimize resorption rate and prolong strength retention in order to provide support throughout the expected period of healing. Although the scaffold loses strength with time, its porous construction was designed to allow native tissue ingrowth and gradual transfer of load from the scaffold to the tissue. Pre-clinical implantation studies indicate that GalaFORM 3D scaffold retains approximately 70% of its strength at 12 weeks. Bioresorption of the scaffold material will be essentially complete within 18-24 months.

Tissue Support

The porous structure permits tissue ingrowth as the scaffold gradually loses strength and transfers load to the tissue. The polymer breaks down through hydrolysis and enzymatic digestion. The mesh is sterilized with ethylene oxide and intended for single use.
