The company's proprietary biomaterial, P4HB, is used to create the GalaFLEX Collection of Scaffolds, which are bioresorbable and designed for soft tissue support and to repair, elevate, and reinforce deficiencies in plastic and reconstructive surgeries. The material offers excellent strength retention, elasticity, and biocompatibility, and is eliminated from the body via the Krebs Cycle to carbon dioxide and water. Advantages of the scaffolds include their strength, bioabsorbability, predictable performance, 3-dimensional structure, biologically derived nature, monofilament construction, and availability in GalaFLEX LITE™. Galatea Surgical has recently joined BD to develop, manufacture, and commercialize innovative products for unmet needs in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
