TheraSkin®

Living Cell Skin Allograft

TheraSkin is an all-human, split-thickness skin allograft with living cells and retained endogenous growth factors, and a native extracellular matrix. TheraSkin can be vascularized by the recipient following transplantation to support development of granulation tissue, which aids in epithelialization to support wound closure.1-3

  • Retained Endogenous Growth Factors: Growth factors and cytokines naturally present in the donated tissue are retained in the donor’s extracellular matrix, to support angiogenesis.3
  • Intact ECM: TheraSkin ECM provides a natural skin environment to enable a number a functions, including structural support, a substrate for cell movement, and direct interactions with the recipient cells to help facilitate and support healing.3
  • Living Cells: Viable fibroblasts and keratinocytes, the living cells found within human skin, are critical to support healing of the patient’s damaged or diseased skin.4
Clinical Application

A barrier membrane for chronic wounds including:

  • Diabetic Foot Ulcers
  • Venous Statis Ulcers
  • Pressure Ulcers
  • Dehisced Surgical Wounds
