Premier Collagen Provider Launches Revamped Website

Devro Medical online presence provides information and resources for biomedical industry. End Quote

Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point, NC (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2010 - Devro Medical Ltd., the premier collagen provider for the biomedical industry is pleased to announce the launch of its revamped website DevroMedical.com. The informational resource contains details on Devro Medical's innovative scientific research and quality control in the uses and applications of collagen in the creation of medical devices, as well as descriptions of the company's collagen-related products and services.

Growing interest in collagen from large and small medical device companies looking to develop their own products is leading to the growth of DevroMedical.com as an online primer on the sought-after biologic.

"Purified collagen has properties which make it an ideal biomaterial for regenerative medicine and wound care," Devro Medical Technical Operations Manager Dr. Stewart White said, adding, "The fact that collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in the human body lends itself to a multitude of applications in tissue repair."

Advances in the uses of collagen over the past two decades have led to its increased use as an adhesion barrier, due in part to its ability to conform to tissue contours and its solid handling, and as a vascular prosthesis, among others. Orthopedics, surgery, cardiovascular, tissue growth and repair, and drug delivery are a few of the other medical specialty areas showing an increasing use of collagen in gel and film form.

DevroMedical.com allows visitors to access details on the 20-year history of Devro Medical, in addition to its contract manufacturing services as well as its standard collagen solutions and fibrillar concentrates. Links to industry resources, news, and events are also available, as are the company's up-to-date quality certifications.

New content will be added on an ongoing basis to DevroMedical.com as the company continues to dedicate advanced scientific research, resources, and facilities to the development of technically advanced collagen products for medical devices which improve the quality of life for millions of patients in need.
