VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel* is a hyaluronic acid-based soft-tissue protection device cleared for tendon, ligament, skeletal muscle, and peripheral nerve applications.
Engineered for precision delivery, VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel forms a tissue-adherent gel layer that stays where applied and delivers a sustained gliding surface between adjacent tissue planes, preventing postoperative tethering and supporting natural tissue mobility. VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel fully bioresorbs throughout healing, leaving only the body’s natural tissues behind.
VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel is ideal for complex or difficult-to-access anatomical sites where minimal tissue manipulation and controlled placement are desired, such as tight openings, multi-site repair, minimally invasive approaches, or tissues that are already approximated.
Ready to use and syringe-deliverable, VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel gives surgeons the confidence to provide their patients an optimized recovery.
Simple Preparation. Precise Delivery.
- Syringe-deliverable gel
- Discrete aliquots
- Precise, controlled placement within complex or
difficult-to-access anatomical sites - Tight openings
- Minimally invasive approaches
Rapid, Intuitive Preparation
Dry biopolymer pellet to syringe-deliverable gel in under one minute. Easy to prepare. No waiting.
Immediate Application. No Set Time.
Ready to apply the moment preparation is complete. VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel functions on contact with tissue, requiring no cure time or delay before closure
Stays Where Applied
Delivered gel forms a tissue-adherent layer that stays where applied, providing a sustained gliding surface throughout the critical healing period
Composition
VersaCoat Flowable Hydrogel is built on VersaCore Hydrogel Technology, the proprietary, naturally-derived biopolymer platform behind our soft-tissue protection portfolio. This bioresorbable composition provides a permeable, non-constricting gliding interface between target tissues and surrounding structures
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
- Known anti-inflammatory1
- Recruited to injury site, critical to healing1
- Immobilizes water on its surface, preventing cellular adhesion, facilitating gliding, movement, and debris removal
Alginate
Alginate
- Known to upregulate anti-inflammatory and downregulate inflammatory responses2
- Provides a hydrophilic matrix that gradually resorbs to locally expose embedded, bioavailable hyaluronic acid3
Engineered to Prevent Tethering
and Optimize Healing
Soft-tissue protection requires more than a physical barrier. VersaCore Hydrogel Technology combines distinct material properties that work together to prevent tethering, support natural healing, and leave only the body’s own tissues behind
Syringe-Deliverable
Syringe-Deliverable
- Discrete aliquots
- Easily applied to challenging-to-reach or already approximated tissues
Prevents Tethering
Prevents Tethering
- Provides protective gliding surface
- Negative charge naturally repels cellular attachment
Conformable
Conformable
- Conforms to tissue and implanted structures
- Ultrathin profile
- Non-swelling
- Non-constricting
Stays Where Applied
Stays Where Applied
- Mucoadhesive
- Sutureless
- Does not migrate
Selectively Permeable
Selectively Permeable
- Limits infiltration of proteins and cells
- Permits exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and small molecules (e.g., growth factors)
Bioresorbs Completely
Bioresorbs Completely
- Bioresorbs as part of the natural healing process
- Alternative to collagen-based materials that may remodel and add bulk
Biocompatible
Biocompatible
- No human or animal tissue
- Elicits little to no immune response
- Non-neurotoxic
- No tissue tracking requirements
Tissue Tracking NOT Required
Tissue Tracking NOT Required
- Suitable for patients with known cultural or physiological sensitivities to animal or human tissue products
