Curved Patches for Norwood Procedure - benefits
The porcine pericardial patch is readily available and does not require any special storage (preserved in benzyl alcohol), unlike homograft tissue, which requires cryopreservation.
Cost savings with the use of the porcine pericardium : the cost of a homograft is likely to be over twice that of the BioIntegral Surgical patch
No-React® patches do not induce the development of anti-HLA antibodies associated with the use of cryopreserved allograft material. Elevated levels of anti-HLA antibodies have been shown to lead to a higher probability of future transplant rejection and given that patients undergoing the Norwood procedure are probable candidates for a future transplant this is an important consideration.

About No-React®
BioIntegral Surgical manufactures cardiac and vascular implants made from all-biological materials using the No-React® treatment.
The No-React® treatment is a heparin-based proprietary detoxification and biomodification of glutaraldehyde-treated tissue that further stabilises tissue cross-linking and prevents the release of aldehydes.
The No-React® process "fixes" the glutaraldehyde so that it cannot leach out from the tissue - this avoids the problems that residual glutaraldehyde can cause which include infection, foreign body reaction, calcification and adhesions
