Profile: Replication Medical Inc specializes in offering hydrogel based products for the spine, vascular and other surgical markets. We also design & develop novel, biomimetic hydrogel implants which provide alternatives to conventional surgical materials. Our EnGuard™ vessel guard is a flexible, layered sheet with handling characteristics and biocompatibility. The hydrogel sheet is composed of polymer, water and a fabric support. The hydrophilic polymer has a high capacity for water absorbing several times its dry weight in fluid. It is provided prepackaged and sterile. There is no prep time. It can be easily inserted between the spinal column and the blood vessels after the major portion of the surgery has been concluded.
