Elutia announces publication clinical, preclinical data on biologic envelope

Elutia (ELUT) announced the publication of clinical and preclinical data supporting the clinical utility of a biologic envelope that secures cardiac implantable electronic devices, CIEDs, promotes tissue remodeling, and addresses bacterial colonization through localized antibiotic delivery. The data are published in the current issue of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. The publication includes data from the HEAL study, a multicenter observational clinical evaluation of patients undergoing CIED reoperations. This study found that patients previously implanted with an engineered extracellular matrix, ECM, envelope had 43% lower overall procedural difficulty, including 46% easier generator mobilization and 41% easier lead mobilization compared with patients previously implanted without envelopes or with non-biologic envelopes.
