Pericardium vs Dermis — A Structural Explainer | ExaShape

ExaShape · Structural Explainer

Not all matrices share a biography

Two biological matrices can look identical on the back table and behave differently, because their source tissue shapes their architecture. Toggle between source tissues, then trace how each integrates across twelve months.

This explainer describes structural and biological characteristics of each source tissue for educational purposes. It is not a comparative performance claim between commercial devices. Dermal matrix behaviour is described in general terms and varies by product. ExaShape data is drawn from the cited real-world clinical studies.
