Patient is a 73-year-old male who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a complete superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion. Patient has a past medical history of diabetes mellitus and severe cardiac disease.
A femoral-popliteal bypass was performed to restore proper blood flow to the lower extremity. Two incisions were made: the first at the proximal site of the femoral artery and the second more distal to access the popliteal artery. Restrata® Sheet was placed below the subcutaneous layer at both the groin and distal incisions. Restrata MiniMatrix® was also applied at both incisional sites to treat the tunneling and undermining aspects of the surgically created defects.
The patient went on to heal without post-operative complications. All surgical wounds healed successfully, without evidence of infection, dehiscence or seroma formation. Routine follow-up confirmed stable recovery and improved perfusion to the affected limb.
Restrata MiniMatrix is indicated for wound management only and not soft tissue reinforcement. Please refer to the Instructions for Use for a full list of indications, contraindications, precautions, and warnings.
