Elevate. Support. Repair. Reinforce.
Galatea surgical scaffolds are bioresorbable, monofilament mesh, constructed of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB™ Biopolymer) — an advanced, biologically produced polymer.

Indications for Use 
Galatea scaffolds are indicated for use as a bioresorbable scaffold for soft tissue support and to repair, elevate and reinforce deficiencies where weakness or voids exist that require the addition of material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. This includes reinforcement of soft tissue in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and general soft tissue reconstruction. Galatea scaffold is also indicated for the repair of fascial defects that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result.
Galatea Scaffold Monofilament Construction – Photo 20x
Galatea scaffolds offer a unique combination of properties that are optimal for soft tissue reinforcement in plastic and reconstructive surgery:

Biologically Derived
Produced by a safe and biological fermentation process, standard in pharmaceutical production, designed for biocompatibility and a minimal inflammatory response [33,36]

Monofilament
Knitted with an open-pore design to minimize risk of infection and encourage a healing response [7,8,15,18,36]

Strong
Provides a lattice for new tissue ingrowth and regeneration resulting in tissue 3-5x stronger than native tissue [8,36]

Bioresorbable
Naturally broken down to CO2 and H2O primarily through the process of hydrolysis, with full bioresorption by 18-24 months [7]

3-Dimensional
The first and only formed design that fits and uplifts the body's natural shape, providing easier placement and reduced procedure time
