GalaFORM 3D scaffold is the only 3-dimensional scaffold with reinforcing rim for plastic and reconstructive surgery that supports, elevates, repairs and reinforces soft tissue. This unique 3D monofilament scaffold is made from the biologically derived poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), which naturally bioresorbs through hydrolysis.
• Formed with a P4HB reinforcing rim to ease scaffold placement, allowing for reduced procedure time and less headaches by fitting to the patient’s natural shape.
• After implantation, the scaffold slowly bioresorbs while tissue grows into the lattice, resulting in tissue that is 3-5 times stronger than native tissue after 18-24 months when the scaffold is entirely bioresorbed.1,2,3
• Choose from a full portfolio of 3D shapes and sizes to complement the body’s natural shape.
Indications for UseGalaFORM 3D scaffold is indicated for use as a bioresorbable scaffold for soft tissue support and to repair, elevate and reinforce deficiencies where weakness or voids exist that require the addition of material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. This includes reinforcement of soft tissue in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and general soft tissue reconstruction. GalaFORM 3D scaffold is also indicated for the repair of fascial defects that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result.
Important Safety ConsiderationsPossible complications include infection, seroma, pain, scaffold migration, wound dehiscence, hemorrhage, adhesions, hematoma, inflammation, extrusion and recurrence of the soft tissue defect. The safety and use of GalaFORM 3D for patients with hypersensitivities to the antibiotics kanamy-cin sulfate and tetracycline hydrochloride is unknown. Galatea scaffolds have not been studied for use in breast reconstructive surgeries. The safety and effectiveness of GalaFORM 3D scaffold in neural tissue and in cardiovascular tissue has not been established. The safety and effectiveness of GalaFORM 3D scaffold in pediatric use has not been established.
Consult the GalaFORM 3D Instructions for Use for complete prescribing information, including its indications for use, warnings and precautions.
