our patented bio membrane
ExaShape® is a product line obtained processing the pericardium of cattle.
The membrane is gently processed with a “multiphasic” process that ensures pathogen inactivation maintaining the three-dimensional structure of the collagen and its biomechanical properties.
Moreover, thanks to strict quality controls and standards throughout all
pericardial tissue manufacturing process, the company aims to deliver reliable and effective medical devices that meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients alike
Bi-LAYER BY NATURE
Our membrane has two different layers
COMPACT LAYER
Provides structural support, enables quick population of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ⁴, ensuring stability and integration with less inflammatory or giant cell accumulation
Fibrous Layer
Highly porous structure that facilitates cell infiltration. It supports cytokines and growth factors, which are crucial for immediate tissue revitalization and early formation of new blood vessels²⁻³

BioShield Pocket
Bioshield Pocket® serving as an elective option for immediate PrePectoral breast reconstruction for the protection of the implant/tissue interface
Bioshield Pocket® aims to streamline surgical procedure as the rehydrated membrane allows for quick wrapping of the implant without the need for complex tailoring procedures, reducing intra-operative delays, lowering risks of implant damage and potential contamination
After running the threads through the “petal” holes, the mesh is rehydrated in the sterile tray, with the smooth side facing the operator. Subsequently, the anterior surface of the implant is positioned on the membrane within a few seconds. The ‘petals’ are tightened to the implant’s posterior side creating a “purse string” assembly.
Due to the meshed pattern and rough external surface, Bioshield Pocket® offers a secure grip on the chest wall ensuring that the implant remains in place during and after surgery.
The high drapability allows the membrane to follow the silicone implant shape with no “dead spaces” or wrinkles
