Tyke - Cardiac & Vascular Surgery

Tyke is the Only Extracellular Matrix Cleared for Neonates & Infants. The natural choice in neonatal and infant cardiovascular repair. An extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS), Tyke regulates the biologic healing response to decrease inflammation and stimulate formation of healthy tissue.2,3,4,5 Tyke is used for neonatal and infant patch, pledget, and intracardiac repair, and provides a natural extracellular matrix (ECM) bioscaffold that promotes regeneration of the patient’s own cells to form healthy, site-specific tissue.1,6
