The Natural Choice for Pericardial Reconstruction.
Reconstruct the pericardium using ProxiCor for Pericardial Closure.
Reconstruction of the pericardium using ECM enables surgeons to re-establish this normal anatomic structure.2,3
Pericardial reconstruction with ProxiCor has been shown to reduce post-operative complications such as atrial fibrillation, pleural and pericardial effusion, tamponade, and 30-day readmission rates, which have a substantial impact on cost-of-care.4

Our goal is to provide physicians with a tool to keep patients with their loved ones and out of the hospital. Reconstructing the pericardium with ProxiCor lowers the likelihood that patients will be readmitted following cardiac surgery.4 Cardiac surgery can be frightening. Patients can take comfort knowing their physicians are doing everything they can to reduce their risk and ensure a successful operation and return to their life.

Fewer Post-Op Complications.Â
Pericardial reconstruction with ProxiCor makes recovery less eventful with fewer post-operative complications.4
ECM. How It Works.
Reconstruct
Once sutured to viable healthy tissue, ECM acts as a scaffold into which the patient’s own cells migrate and integrate2 – stimulating natural wound healing mechanisms.10
Remodel
Restore
Post remodeling, SIS ECM remodels into healthy site-specific tissue.1,4
