Interesting that it's a pig heart!
I was introduced into "pig bladder ground up into magical pixie dust" aka ACell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACell) when it was used to treat my child's heart surgery incision. I was super surprised how well it worked and how quick, too!
- xtracto 5y agoI read about the "magical pixie dust" in a very old Time Magazine (that my dad had a subscription to). Since then, I have always dreamed of having the tip of my left thumb "regrown" using that or a similar technology. Glad to know that it is being used more commonly on nowadays.
- kingsloi 5y agoThat’s awesome! I couldn’t believe it when they first said it was made from pig bladder. We didn’t use all of it... I should’ve asked for the remainder and pit it in a takeout box and kept it for a rainy day
