Xenoguard
Pericardium membrane for soft tissue reconstruction
debridement prior to implantation,
measures to control the infection must
be taken, e.g. suitable drainage, negative
pressure therapy and antimicrobial
therapy. (The presence of a significant
bacterial load could compromise the
function of the surgical membrane.)
Adverse reactions
The following adverse reactions can
occur in implantation procedures of
acellular matrixes: infections, haematoma
and seroma formation, recurring tissue
damage, fistula formation, inflammation,
adhesion formation.
Potential complications
Given that Xenoguard is possibly used
in surgical wounds, the sterility of which
is not guaranteed, antimicrobial agents
are often used to help prevent infectious
complications. The use of these agents
may slow or inhibit wound healing.
In patients in critical condition or with
a severely contaminated abdomen,
complications such as delayed wound
infection, recurrence of the rupture and
the need to reoperate must be expected.
