GENTA-COLL® resorb in thoracic and cardiac surgery

A median sternotomy is performed in the majority of surgical procedures performed on the heart. Postoperative wound infections after a sternotomy are a rare complication. Their frequency fluctuates between 1 and 4 %.

Given the significant subsequent costs and the physical and psychological stresses for the patient, the use of GENTA-COLL® resorb can be a useful addition to conventional surgical and prophylactic approaches.
