LifeNet Health’s portfolio of allografts offers the most advanced solutions for healing, from soft tissue reconstruction to chronic wounds.
Dermacell AWM® is a human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) that serves as a scaffold to reinforce damaged or inadequate soft tissue at the surgical site. Using LifeNet Health’s proprietary and validated Matracell® decellularization technology, epidermal and dermal cells are removed, while preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM) that aid and are vital in the healing cascade.
Matrion™ is a human placental allograft used as a barrier membrane to treat chronic and acute wounds. Matrion is the first naturally intact placental membrane to incorporate the full trophoblast layer, combined with decellularization using Matracell technology.
ReadiGraft® CryoSkin is cryopreserved human skin composed of frozen fibroblasts and keratinocytes and a fully developed extracellular matrix (ECM) in its epidermal and dermal layers. Cryopreserved human skin provides a biological wound dressing for acute burn injuries.
Wound Management & Surgical Reconstruction (WMSR)
- Handling: Matrion’s inclusion of the amnion, chorion and trophoblast layers results in a graft that is up to four times thicker than the Amniotic and Chorionic membranes.1
- Convenience: No need to rehydrate, thaw or otherwise prepare prior to application.
- Safety: Up to four times thicker than traditional bilayer grafts, Matrion provides a more substantial barrier, preventing fluid loss as well as bacterial ingress.2
- Sterility: Sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, medical device grade sterility.3
- Growth Factor Retention: Matrion retains more endogenous growth factors than other placental membranes that lack the full trophoblast layer.4 Analyses have demonstrated that the trophoblast layer accounts for more than 50% of the total amount of key biological factors in placental tissue.5
