Cardiovascular patch, animal-derived refers to implantable patches made from animal tissues like porcine, bovine, or equine pericardium or collagen. These patches are used in surgical procedures to reinforce weakened or damaged heart or blood vessel tissues, such as during repairs for defects, endarterectomies, or vascular reconstructions.
These patches are typically regulated as surgical implants and may require compliance with biocompatibility, sterility, and structural integrity standards. They are supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation, often tailored to specific anatomical repair needs.
