Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences Company, has joined hands with Groupe Sebbin, a leading manufacturer of breast implants for plastic and reconstructive surgery, to provide treatment options for breast reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery, with DSM’s Meso BioMatrix Acellular Peritoneum Matrix.

The Meso BioMatrix Acellular Peritoneum Matrix is the newest addition to a family of extracellular matrix devices processed using DSM’s proprietary OPTRIX manufacturing process. The OPTRIX process is used to create customized soft tissue regeneration products for a variety of clinical applications.

Designed and developed by DSM, Meso BioMatrix Acellular Peritoneum Matrix is a surgical mesh that provides easy handling for surgeons with the strength necessary to reinforce soft tissue in breast reconstruction procedures, the company said in a statement.

Scott Goldman, innovation director, natural materials, DSM biomedical said, “This partnership represents an important milestone as DSM continues its mission to be a developer of innovative regenerative medicine technologies. We look forward to building upon our newly formed relationship with Sebbin, a highly respected leader in the breast reconstruction industry.”

Diederik Van Goor, chief operation officer, Groupe Sebbin said, “Sebbin welcomes the opportunity to partner with DSM and to support the use of natural materials in reconstructive and plastic surgeries. This partnership adds an important technology into our product portfolio and will allow us to offer an even greater range of technologies dedicated to breast reconstruction.”

Groupe Sebbin will market and distribute DSM’s Meso BioMatrix Acellular Peritoneum Matrix in Europe and Latin America.

Royal DSM delivers innovative solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance in global markets such as food and dietary supplements, personal care, feed, medical devices, automotive, paints, electrical and electronics, life protection, alternative energy and bio-based materials. DSM's 24,500 employees deliver annual net sales of around €10 billion.
