How does CelGro™ work?
CelGro™'s natural bilayer structure, which features smooth and rough sides, acts to both guide new tissue formation and protect the repair site.
1. Smooth layer - a parallel arrangement of densely packed collagen bundles with abundant pores permit the passage of fluids and nutrient molecules while preventing the invasion of external tissue into the site of repair.
2. Rough layer - consists of loosely arranged collagen bundles to provide a scaffold to support new cell growth.
3. Tissue remodelling - cells from the regenerating tissue integrate with the collagen fibres to guide tissue regeneration.
