mucoderm® provides a true alternative in certain indications to the patient’s own connective tissue. This stable 3-dimensional collagen soft tissue replacement, made of porcine dermis, supports fast revascularization and soft tissue integration, including color and texture.

Features and benefits

Safety and biocompatibility

The particular, certified multi-stage cleaning process of mucoderm® effectively removes all non-collagenous proteins and cells as well as potential immunogens, bacteria and viruses. Hence, mucoderm® is an absolutely safe and pure collagen type I and III matrix. mucoderm® is biocompatible and supports adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
3-dimensional matrix

The unique, porous structure makes mucoderm® an ideal scaffold for ingrowth of blood vessels and cells and promotes fast tissue integration and revascularization.²,³
High tensile strength

Due to the structural stability, mucoderm® can be:
– sutured, pinned or screwed
– easily cut to the required size and shape
– easily applied by the tunnel technique without risk of tearing the matrix apart. 
Structure similar to human tissue

mucoderm® is a viable alternative to the patient’s own tissue in certain indications:
– Remodels completely into patient’s own tissue within 6 – 9 months.
– Reduces the patients’ discomfort and donor site morbidity.
