Biomaterials

Empowering partners with solutions tailored to clinical needs

Material Technologies

Evergen offers a comprehensive portfolio of biomaterials that empower our partners to develop solutions tailored to clinical needs. Our available biomaterials include:

Allograft Soft Tissue

Allograft Musculoskeletal

Xenograft Soft Tissue

Xenograft Bone

Surgeons select allograft and xenograft biomaterials for their proven ability to support the body’s natural healing process across a wide range of clinical applications and procedures.

Allograft Biomaterials

Depending on the type of transplant, surgical application, and processing, allograft biomaterials have the potential to remodel and support new tissue growth. Allograft implants eliminate the need for a second surgery site to use the patient’s own tissue (autograft). Processing methods are tailored for each clinical application to optimize requirements like strength and biochemical properties.

Allograft Dermis, Pericardium, Fascia Lata

  • Customizable form factors: thickness, size, shape and attributes including perforations and fenestrations

Allograft Mineralized & Demineralized Bone

  • Cortical, cancellous, and cortical-cancellous bone particulate
  • Customizable particle size or ratio of cortical or cancellous particulates
  • Demineralized Putties & Pastes available with or without carriers

Allograft Fibers

  • Non-uniform, interlocking fibers
  • Custom particle or fiber size, volume, carriers

Allograft Bone

  • Precision machining
  • Assembled bone technologies

Xenograft Biomaterials

Xenograft biomaterials are carefully processed to ensure they are safe and effective for medical use, helping the body heal naturally. Our proprietary processing methods are adapted for specific clinical applications and to optimize application-specific requirements such as strength and biochemical specifications.

Xenograft biomaterials sourced from BSE-free countries (e.g., Australia, New Zealand) or closed herds in other low-risk regions; all manufactured in ISO 13485 certified facilities.

Xenograft Collagen Formulations

  • Soluble (Pepsin Solubilized Collagen and Acid Solubilized Telo Collagen)
  • Fibrillar
  • Freeze-dried (Standard lyophilized collagen, long fiber lyophilized collagen, freeze dried hide collagen)
  • Collagen Engineering for custom form factors including gels, sponges, sheets, powders, foams and fibrous membranes

Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS)

  • Customizable form factors including wraps, tubes, plugs, particulate and single or multilayer sheets

Xenograft Fixed Tissues

  • The development of percutaneous cardiac valves (aortic, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary)
  • The development of surgically implanted cardiac valves
  • Pericardial patches and other tissue for surgical, vascular and other applications
  • Functional components for structural heart disease treatment and other vascular uses

Porcine Dermis and Pericardium

  • Customizable form factors: thickness, size, shape and attributes including perforations and fenestrations
Bovine Dermis and Pericardium

Bovine Dermis and Pericardium

  • Customizable form factors: thickness, size, shape and attributes including perforations and fenestrations
Bovine Musculoskeletal Tissue

Bovine Musculoskeletal Tissue

  • Bovine mineralized and demineralized bone
  • Customizable particle size, volume and ratio of cortical and cancellous particulates
  • Precision machining
  • Bovine tendon

Process Technologies

Our biomaterial processing expertise allows us to tailor methods to meet the needs of specific clinical applications and procedures, considering factors such as strength and biochemical properties to support consistent performance.

Evergen’s Core Process Technologies

Processes are validated and optimized for specific tissue types to maintain the native tissue characteristics and offer a sterility assurance level up to 10-6 .

  • Designed to preserve biomechanical and biochemical integrity and native tissue
  • Thoroughly penetrate tissue
  • Validated to inactivate and/or remove a panel of specific and model viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores under most difficult-case conditions

BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process

An automated, pharmaceutical-grade system that sterilizes tissue to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-⁶. The BioCleanse process combines mechanical pressure with detergents and sterilants to penetrate tissue, removing blood, lipids, and pathogens. Multiple rinses with pharmaceutical-grade water ensure the tissue is free of debris and chemicals, leaving it biocompatible.

Tutoplast® Tissue Sterilization Process

The process combines osmotic, oxidative, and alkaline treatments to break down cell walls, inactivate pathogens, and remove bacteria. Solvent dehydration preserves tissue structure for shelf storage, while low-dose gamma irradiation achieves a SAL of 10-⁶ for the final packaged graft.

Cancelle SP® Sterilization Process

he Cancelle SP Sterilization Process sterilizes demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and cortical cancellous chips (CCC). Through a combination of oxidative treatments and acid or alcohol washes, debris is removed and pathogens are inactivated. Cleansing rinses remove residual chemicals, maintaining biocompatibility. Low-temperature, low-dose gamma irradiation preserves the utility of the graft. For most DBM- and CCC-based grafts, the irradiation dose is applied terminally to  achieve an SAL of 10-6.

Proprietary SIS Processing

Porcine SIS material is processed to remove viable cells, inactivate viruses, and eliminate pathogens while preserving its fibrous, porous extracellular matrix (ECM). The process maintains collagen and non-collagenous components for optimal cell interaction and growth. Each product is terminally sterilized for its intended clinical use.
