MALVERN, PA — TELA Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: TELA) has announced the U.S. launch of larger configurations for its OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix, a specialized device designed to support plastic and reconstructive surgeries. The product is the only tissue matrix reinforced with polymer suture embroidery, engineered to enhance consistency and handling while promoting functional tissue remodeling.
The newly introduced sizes, including a 25 x 30 cm oval and a 25 cm diameter circle, are expected to address the needs of surgeons managing more complex procedures. By reducing the necessity for multiple smaller pieces, these larger options aim to streamline surgical processes and improve efficiency in operating rooms.
“The introduction of larger OviTex PRS sizes aligns with evolving trends in plastic and reconstructive surgery and strengthens the breadth of our offering in this space,” said Antony Koblish, Co-founder, President, and CEO. He highlighted the steady demand for alternatives to cadaveric tissue, pointing out that since its 2019 launch, OviTex PRS has sold nearly 15,000 units with a 31% year-over-year growth in unit sales in 2024.
Dr. Howard Langstein, Vice President of Medical Affairs & Surgeon Strategy, emphasized how these new configurations stem from direct feedback from surgeons. “By reducing the need for suturing multiple smaller pieces together, we aim to improve surgical efficiency and potentially reduce costs, enhancing the surgeon’s ability to reinforce larger soft-tissue challenges,” Langstein explained.
OviTex PRS is noted for its consistency in thickness, stretch, and permeability, factors critical to delivering reliable performance during surgical procedures. With these enhancements, TELA Bio continues to reinforce its position as a leader in the plastic and reconstructive surgery market.
The launch demonstrates TELA Bio’s commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving demands of healthcare professionals, further supporting its steady growth trajectory in the highly technical surgical devices sector.
