About
Voyager Medical Research is developing proprietary polymers that are designed specifically to help prevent complications. Its first product, Voyager Surgical Suture (VSS), addresses the post-surgical complication of Incisional Hernia that is effecting up to 20% of patients undergoing a Laparotomy, leading to 5.3% mortality. ACE Surgical Suture, is a monofilament, absorbable surgical suture, intended for abdominal wall closure. The product is based on a co-polymer that was designed and validated in over 6 years of research at the Institute of Chemistry of the Hebrew University. ACE is composed of PPCA which is a unique co-polymer comprising Poly(Propylene Oxide) and Poly(Caprolactone) blocks, being chained extended with a diisocyanate (Hexamatheylene diisocyanate). Unlike competitor products that only provide 8 weeks of abdominal wall support, ACE offers as much as 5-6 months of support, enough to enable healing even for the most immune-suppressed patients.
