Incorporated in December of 2001, CorMatrix was co-founded by David Camp, an entrepreneurial executive in the cardiovascular medical device field, and Robert G. Matheny, MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon and co-inventor on several patents related to extracellular matrix (ECM) technology. Dr. Matheny’s interest and experience with these unique materials began at Purdue University in the 1990s while he was a private practice cardiac surgeon in Indianapolis. Realizing the potential of extracellular matrix materials for cardiovascular surgery, he further increased his study and preclinical work in matrix materials and tissue repair.
