@jnahmias1 @MelVegCen We are very happy that Biotubes can contribute to life long learning and pursuit of improvement of all surgeons.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@jnahmias1 @MelVegCen We believe that Biotube will lead to a change in the mindset of surgeons by providing a small-diameter vascular prosthesis, which has been considered impossible until now.

@jnahmias1 @MelVegCen My name is Yasuhide Nakayama and I am a bioengineering researcher who has been developing in-body tissue architecture technology including Biotube for 20 years. Currently, I am the CTO of Biotube Co., Ltd.

@EJVES_ESVS @MelVegCen Biotube could be the world's first alternative blood vessel for lower extremity bypass.

@FLareyre @rhigashita @EJVES_ESVS @MelVegCen We think that Biotubes can be made in one month, just like animal experiments. Clinically, the implantation period was extended to 2 months to avoid incomplete biotube formation. This clinical trial is FIH.

@AnneLejay @MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS The diameter of the biotube can be changed simply by changing the diameter of the mandrel of the mold. It's very easy.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@FLareyre @MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS The main component of biotube is collagen. Therefore, immune rejection does not occur also in allogeneic implantation.

@FLareyre @MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS Autologous implantation does not cause inflammation at all.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@FLareyre @MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS Inflammatory cells are rare.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS Biotube transformed into an autologous blood vessel within 3 months after implantation. Animal experiments with goats showed no increase in diameter for more than a year.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS We can also prepare 5-6mm diameter biotubes for blood access.

[ibta 1 @1Ibta]

@MelVegCen @EJVES_ESVS We can make 55cm length.
