Patent of invention in Colombia NC2018/0004340. Method for manufacturing an implant. (Granted) – Patent of invention in Colombia NC2020/0004123. Implant. (Granted) – Patent of invention in the United States 15/973,513. Implant. (Granted) Patent application in Mexico MX2018005183. Implant.

It is a patch-like device containing mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells, and specific functional cells for cardiac tissue regeneration. These cells are embedded in a gel that keeps them alive, and they are then integrated into the infarcted heart to promote regeneration.

Health

A device that mixes different types of cells, adheres to the area of the heart affected by an infarction, helps regenerate tissue, and is reabsorbable.

Regeneration of the affected cardiac tissue.
It does not need to be removed from the body afterward, as it is absorbed and the cells integrate into the tissue that is to be repaired.
It can be customized according to the type and size of the injury.
Less invasive because it attaches to the surface of the tissue without the need to remove a portion of the affected tissue.
Cells that regulate and decrease the immune response.
