CanGaroo ECM envelopes did not reduce the incidence of device erosion and were associated with qualitatively thicker capsules and connective tissue staining at 12 weeks compared to no envelope or TYRX. Further studies regarding the use of these envelopes to prevent device erosion and their subsequent impact on capsule formation are warranted.
