Porcine Tissue Used to Repair Rotator Cuff Tendon Damage in Humans

Orthopedic surgeons are finding a rapid repair for rotator cuff tendon injuries where there was not a reliable method in the past. Porcine intestinal tissue has been determined to make a viable patch which allows the surgeons to have tissue to suture the tear together and aids in stimulating the body to grow new tendon tissue. The pig tissue, which is mostly collagen, then is absorbed by the body. This finding was reported by ABC News’ Denise Dador and ABC News.com’s Robin Eisner.
