TRMatrix™ BioScaffold Part Number: TRM1X1
TR Matrix™ is a structurally unique medical device that has multiple uses in veterinary
medicine. TR Matrix™ is composed of a proprietary, non-immunogenic copolymer
designed to mimic tertiary embryonic connective tissue and stimulate fetal-like repair
mechanisms. TR Matrix™ does not contain any drugs, cells, or growth factors and
achieves its tissue repair properties from a unique open polar structure.
The open polar structure of TR Matrix™ forms a scaffold to facilitate cell proliferation,
differentiation, and integration. Assays have shown cells binding to TR Matrix™ will
upregulate gene expression for a variety of factors, including Bone Morphogenic Protein
2 (BMP-2), Transforming Growth Factors β3 & β1 (TGF-β3, TGF-β1), Connective Tissue
Growth Factor (CTGF), and aggrecan. These factors are consistent with cell in-growth,
scarless tissue repair, extracellular matrix turnover and rapid, sustained vasculogenesis.
TR Matrix™ results in fetal-like wound repair, characterized by less fibrosis and contraction.
The scaffold has been shown to alter the type of extracellular matrix produced; from a
highly cross-linked, dense structure normally found in healed adult wounds to a more
open reticular structure found in healed fetal wounds. Treated wounds have cells with
“mesenchymoid” morphology with fewer differentiated myofibroblasts than typically seen
in adult wounds, an effect consistent with fetal-like repair.
This stainless steel, autoclavable mixing bowl is perfect for transferring and mixing
TR Matrix™ for clinical application. Used in conjunction with a sterile spatula or similar
instrument, this inexpensive bowl speeds and simplifies TR Matrix™ application.
This stainless steel, autoclavable spatula is perfect for mixing after rehydration of
TR Matrix™ lyophilized powder. The flexible blade provides for uniform mixing and
maximum product removal from mixing bowl. The knurled handle supplies a secure-grip
surface. Approximately 160mm overall length.

Miniature CENTERFACE™ Fixation Full-pins
These long awaited additions to our miniature ESF pin line represent the
worlds smallest centrally threaded, positive-profile external fixation pins.
Mini CENTERFACE™ fixation full-pins are available in shank sizes of 0.035”,
0.045” and 0.062” and are compatible with Mini SK™ ESF clamps. Most
commonly used with acrylic fixators on toy breeds, kittens, avian patients
and small exotic pets. A single trocar point is included to clearly identify the
lead-end of the pin and simplify application.
