Quality bovine and porcine biomaterials
We supply bovine and porcine biomaterials, including pericardium, tendon and bone, for a wide range of medical devices.
our biomaterials
Chosen for their strength, biocompatibility and natural tissue structure, these materials are well suited to cardiovascular, orthopaedic, reconstructive and regenerative medicine applications where reliable performance is critical.
To support manufacturers globally, we can ship fresh tissue anywhere in the world using our proprietary shipping solution, designed to suppress bioburden throughout transit and support extended international shipping timeframes.
Pericardium
Pericardium is widely used in medical applications due to its strength, durability and biocompatibility. One of its primary uses is in the manufacture of bioprosthetic heart valves, where bovine and porcine pericardium provide a more natural function and a lower risk of blood clot formation compared to mechanical valves.
Exceptional mechanical strength and durability
Bovine and porcine pericardium provide high tensile strength, fatigue resistance and long-term stability, making them ideal for devices that must withstand continuous physiological loads over many years.
Flexibility and ease of handling
Pericardial tissue is naturally pliable and easy to trim, shape and suture. Bovine pericardium offers robust structural strength, while porcine pericardium is thinner for anatomically complex or delicate applications.
Excellent biocompatibility and tissue integration
After processing, both materials exhibit low immunogenicity and are well-accepted by the body. Their collagen-rich structure supports healing and reduces the risk of inflammatory response.
Suitable for a wide range of medical devices
Bovine and porcine pericardium are widely used in bioprosthetic heart valves, vascular patches, cardiovascular implants, reconstructive surgery and other soft-tissue repair applications.
Proven clinical performance and regulatory acceptance
Both bovine and porcine pericardium have a long history of successful use in medical devices and are widely accepted by regulators, providing confidence in their safety, performance and manufacturability.

Tendon
Bovine and porcine tendon are used in medical devices where strong, collagen-rich fibrous tissue is required. Their highly aligned collagen structure provides exceptional tensile strength, making them ideal for reconstructive, orthopaedic and soft-tissue repair applications.
Ideal for orthopaedic soft-tissue grafts
Bovine and porcine tendon are used in orthopaedic implants replacing ligaments and tendons, and can be formed into collagen scaffolds for ACL repair, rotator cuff augmentation and soft-tissue reinforcement, providing structural support and encouraging tissue regeneration.
Suitable for surgical reinforcement and patches
Tendon-derived collagen sheets and strips provide excellent load-bearing properties due to their naturally aligned fibre structure, making them well suited to abdominal wall repair, hernia patches and soft-tissue reinforcement.
Supports tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Bovine and porcine tendon can be processed into decellularised collagen matrices or hydrogels, supporting cell adhesion and guiding organised tissue regeneration for advanced ligament, tendon and sports medicine applications.

Bone
Bovine and porcine bone products are perfect for providing biocompatible, osteoconductive scaffolds to support new bone growth while maintaining structural stability. Commonly used as bone graft substitutes in orthopaedics and dentistry, specific bone types can be sourced according to the required physical characteristics: dense and mechanically strong cortical bone for load-bearing grafts and blocks or porous cancellous bone where vascularisation and new bone ingrowth is desirable.
Highly biocompatible and osteoconductive
After thorough processing to remove organic and cellular components, xenograft bone is well tolerated by the human body, with a low risk of immune reaction, and provides a natural scaffold that supports the attachment, migration, and growth of bone forming cells, guiding new bone formation into the defect.
Predictable resorption and stability
Processed xenograft bone resorbs slowly and in a controlled manner, helping maintain defect volume while new bone gradually replaces the scaffold.
Xenograft bone is a versatile bone graft substitute
Xenograft bone is used in bone grafting and reconstruction procedures as a scaffold supporting new bone formation and defect volume maintenance, enabling restoration of bone structure without autograft harvesting, reducing surgical morbidity and recovery time.
Xenograft bone as a regenerative material
Xenograft bone supports cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation while guiding new tissue formation. Its porous, hydroxyapatite based structure mimics native bone, making it well suited for combination with cells, growth factors, or bioactive molecules to promote regeneration.
