The bovine pericardium is a fibroserous membrane that encases the heart. It consists of an inner serous layer and an outer fibrous layer. Structurally, it is composed of a dense collagen matrix interwoven with elastic fibers, providing both strength and flexibility.
The bovine pericardium has been used for over 30 years as raw material in various medical fields, including:
- Neurology
- Urology
- Cardiovascular
- Gastroenterology
- Ophthalmology
Prior to application, the bovine pericardium undergoes chemical and/or enzymatic treatments that:
- Enhance its mechanical strength and flexibility
- Reduce its biodegradability
- Improve biocompatibility
- Render it non-thrombogenic
