Gunze products currently
available outside of the U.S.
Proven, Trusted Medical Products
Gunze manufactures a number of bioabsorbable materials, devices, and healthcare products that have not yet been cleared or approved for use in the U.S. These items are used, however, with the full trust and confidence of surgeons in hospitals around the world and could be made available to U.S. surgeons in the future.
Our portfolio includes:
Bioabsorbable Scaffold for Cartilage Regeneration
Gunze’s bioabsorbable synthetic felt is used for the treatment of traumatic full-thickness, chondral, and osteochondral defect. Consisting of 100 percent PGA, the felt’s porous, fibrous structure acts as a shape and guidance template for cartilage-like tissue development.
Dura Substitutes
Single Layer (PGA)
Gunze’s absorbable, dura substitute is made of polyglycolic acid (PGA) non-woven fabric and gradually degrades by hydrolysis. This product is used as a prosthetic material for dura mater defects and enables surgeons to perform the procedure without suture.
Multi-Layered
Gunze’s absorbable, dura substitute is made of poly(L-lactic acid/ε-caprolactone) copolymer P(LA/CL) film and layered with PGA felt to provide strength, elasticity, and a leak-resistant seal. The three-layered structure can effectively support sutured areas.
Bone Fixation Device
Gunze’s absorbable bone fixation device is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that gradually degrades upon hydrolysis and is absorbed in the human body. Gunze manufactures different versions of this bone fixation device for CMF, trauma, and rib and sternum applications.
