SURGEON TESTIMONIALS

“In our healthcare delivery landscape there’s constant pressure for economic efficiencies. As a surgeon, time is my most precious commodity. Having the VNEW graft precut into anatomical shapes, and packaged to optimize ease to prepare for suture stabilization saves me significant OR time.”

 — Vincent R. Lucente, MD, MBA, FACOG, FPMRS

“As much as I was disappointed that the remaining transvaginal polypropylene mesh products that were quite excellent were removed from the market, I had to admit that maybe it was a good thing. Because it forced me and every other vault prolapse repair surgeon to really take a better look at what we were trying to accomplish. Biological grafts really make more sense to me now. And VNEW is undoubtedly the best product for transvaginal surgery!! Scientifically, the amount of collagen, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, etc. for tissue acceptance, ingrowth, and strength is phenomenal! But intraoperatively it is so easy to work with—it lays down so well! And the immediate end result is great and weeks later, these women literally look like they had decades removed from their vaginas…I just don’t know how to say it any other way.”

— R. Clay Williams, D.O.

“Working closely with ARMS Medical as our provider of specialty pelvic floor surgical solutions, my team had the opportunity to use DermaPure® allograft, along with the Vaginal Retraction System. This solution allowed a minimally invasive vaginal approach for a positive surgical and patient outcome.”

— R. Keith Huffaker, MD, MBA, FACOG, FPMRS

“DermaPure® was chosen to repair the tissue defect as it provides a firm and elastic tissue support that stimulates the natural healing process and serves as a scaffold upon which host cells can regenerate and differentiate.”

— Ervin Kocjancic MD

“Since learning about DermaPure® from ARMS Medical, I have been very impressed by its advantages over synthetic mesh and competitive biologics. It offers good handling characteristics, is easy to place, incorporates well into surrounding tissue and has a negligible exposure rate. The proprietary dCELL® technology promotes tissue growth and healing more effectively than cross-linked products. I believe in this unique biologic platform and its usefulness in pelvic organ prolapse and mesh removal surgery.”

 — James Chivian Lukban, DO, FACOG, FACS, FFPMRS

“In instances such as Stage III prolapse, a biologic implant like DermaPure® allograft is needed to improve the quality of the patient’s native tissue. In my experience, women presenting with Stage III prolapse have attenuated tissue. If they only receive a native tissue repair, they typically will develop a reoccurrence.”

— Manish Patel, M.D, RPh, FACS, FPMRS

“The use of decellularized allograft allows for a more thorough repair of a pelvic floor hernia without tension and without artificial materials. In principle, this should decrease the overall recurrence rate of the prolapse and improve the symptoms of perineal laxity without the risk of foreign body erosion.”

— Ana Toker, MD FACS, FACSRS

“DermaPure’s® lack of DNA and the presence of decellularized vascular channels for tissue perfusion reduces rejection with decreased inflammation, and the preserved channels facilitate tissue incorporation and healing.”

— Dionysios Veronikis, MD, FACOG, FACS

“When they removed the mesh, the DermaPure® was deployed to completely re-construct my urethra. It’s as if this product also fixed not just the damage mesh had created in my body but also retro repaired with childbirth had done to my urethra and my bladder. It’s truly been a miracle.”
