Dermacell AWM®
Human Acellular Dermal Matrix (hADM)

Dermacell AWM is a technologically advanced human acellular dermal matrix that is decellularized using Matracell®, a proprietary, patented, and validated processing technology. Matracell removes a minimum of 97% of donor DNA1, allowing for rapid cellular infiltration and re-vascularization. Dermacell AWM is terminally sterilized, ready to use without refrigeration or re-hydration.

  • Biohospitable: All cells and ≥ 97% donor DNA removed to potentially minimize any adverse patient response.1
  • Intact Acellular Framework: Retains native growth factors, collagen and elastin.2
  • Room Temperature Storage: Ready to use out of the package (15°C- 30°C).
  • Strength: Pull-out strength and load to failure are comparable to native dermis.3,4
  • Sterile: Sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, medical device grade sterility.5
  • Structural Support: Facilitates use with sutures, staples.
  • Proven: Conducted the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) to date using hADM in chronic wounds.6
Clinical Application
  • Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), venous stasis ulcers (VSUs), arterial ulcers and pressure ulcers, as well as dehisced surgical wounds and traumatic burns
  • Dermacell AWM can be used over exposed tendon, bone, joint capsule, and muscle
