TRMatrix™ BioScaffold

Part Number: TRM1X1

TR Matrix™ is a structurally unique medical device that has multiple uses in veterinary medicine. TR Matrix™ is composed of a proprietary, non-immunogenic copolymer designed to mimic tertiary embryonic connective tissue and stimulate fetal-like repair mechanisms. TR Matrix™ does not contain any drugs, cells, or growth factors and achieves its tissue repair properties from a unique open polar structure. The open polar structure of TR Matrix™ forms a scaffold to facilitate cell proliferation, differentiation, and integration. Assays have shown cells binding to TR Matrix™ will upregulate gene expression for a variety of factors, including Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP-2), Transforming Growth Factors β3 & β1 (TGF-β3, TGF-β1), Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), and aggrecan. These factors are consistent with cell in-growth, scarless tissue repair, extracellular matrix turnover and rapid, sustained vasculogenesis. TR Matrix™ results in fetal-like wound repair, characterized by less fibrosis and contraction. The scaffold has been shown to alter the type of extracellular matrix produced; from a highly cross-linked, dense structure normally found in healed adult wounds to a more open reticular structure found in healed fetal wounds. Treated wounds have cells with “mesenchymoid” morphology with fewer differentiated myofibroblasts than typically seen in adult wounds, an effect consistent with fetal-like repair.

Key Orthopedic Attributes: • Osteopromotive: Accelerates bone repair and osteogenesis • Multi-Tissue Compatibility: Can be used in a variety of hard and soft tissues • Non-Immunogenic: Designed for optimal tissue integration and acceptance • Shelf-Stable: Safely utilized up to 1 year without refrigeration • Cost-Effective: Allows use without limiting case selection • Drug/Growth Factor Free: Optimizes performance by stimulating physiologic repair

Stainless Mixing Bowl

Part Number: TRB

This stainless steel, autoclavable mixing bowl is perfect for transferring and mixing TR Matrix™ for clinical application. Used in conjunction with a sterile spatula or similar instrument, this inexpensive bowl speeds and simplifies TR Matrix™ application.

TRMatrix™ Spatula

Part Number: TRS

This stainless steel, autoclavable spatula is perfect for mixing after rehydration of TR Matrix™ lyophilized powder. The flexible blade provides for uniform mixing and maximum product removal from mixing bowl. The knurled handle supplies a secure-grip surface. Approximately 160mm overall length.

2.7mm Toggle Pin This new toggle pin size has been requested by surgeons having success with the toggle pin method of coxofemoral luxation repair. Being smaller than the current IMEX™ toggle pins (3.2mm and 4.0mm diameters), the toggle pin method can now be readily performed in smaller patients. Approximately 10mm in length with a 1.1mm cross hole. Implant quality 316LVM stainless steel.

1.6mm and 2.0mm Drill Guides for Universal Aiming Device Due to the large number of interchangeable drill guides available, the IMEX™ Universal Aiming Device is proving popular for a variety of veterinary orthopedic surgeries. Uses to date include: toggle pinning of hip luxations, lag screw repair of condylar fractures, placement of ESF pins, lag screw repair of femoral neck fractures, and placement of calcaneo-tibial screws to support repair of Achilles tendon injuries. Customers have requested two new drill sleeve sizes that are now available: 1.6mm and 2.0mm. These new diameters provide for optimal support of 1.5mm and 2.0mm drill bits, expanding the aiming device’s use to include smaller plating and ESF hardware, smaller drill bit support when performing the toggle pin method of hip luxation in small patients, and can be helpful with the tightrope and similar stifle surgery procedures. In addition, the 1.6mm drill guide is very useful for placing 1.6mm K-wires as guide wires or precision placed implants.

Miniature CENTERFACE™ Fixation Full-pins These long awaited additions to our miniature ESF pin line represent the worlds smallest centrally threaded, positive-profile external fixation pins. Mini CENTERFACE™ fixation full-pins are available in shank sizes of 0.035”, 0.045” and 0.062” and are compatible with Mini SK™ ESF clamps. Most commonly used with acrylic fixators on toy breeds, kittens, avian patients and small exotic pets. A single trocar point is included to clearly identify the lead-end of the pin and simplify application. Part No.

* Drill bit recommendations are based on availability of drill bits in these sizes. Referenced drill bits are standard sizes available from human orthopedic companies. A K-wire or drill bit one size smaller than the pin’s shank size can also be utilized for pre-drilling.

1.3mm Stopper Wire This 1.3mm stopper wire diameter falls between the current 1.0mm (mini) and 1.6mm (standard) stopper wire diameters; providing the surgeon an opportunity to customize wire size to the demands of the case. Useful in both hybrid ESF and CESF frames. Implant quality 316LVM stainless steel.

Multi-Purpose Orthopedic Washers Originally designed for use with IMEX™ trans-ilial rods and nuts, multi-purpose orthopedic washers can also be used with standard bone screws. When using trans-ilial rods to augment repair of sacro-iliac luxations or pelvic fractures, these washers are designed for placement between the bone and trans-ilial nut to increase surface area; preventing compression into soft bone.
