MicroMatrix

Easy-to-use dermal repair matrix in powder form that allows intimate contact with all parts of the wound, even in irregular-shaped and/or deep wounds. An extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) technology, it provides an environment that supports new tissue formation and wound healing. It is acellular, minimally-processed, non-crosslinked and completely resorbable and is associated with a modified inflammatory response.

Indications

Undermined wounds, tunnelled wounds, partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, surgical wounds (donor sites and grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence), traumatic wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, skin tears), draining wounds

Contraindications

Patients with known sensitivity or allergy to porcine materials. Third-degree burns.

Cytal

Versatile range of dermal matrices with varying resorption profiles allowing wound coverage and tissue deposition for the duration that is required. An extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM), it provides an environment that supports new tissue formation and wound healing. It is acellular, minimally processed, non-crosslinked and completely resorbable, and it is associated with a modified inflammatory response.
Integra Dermal Regeneration Template
Integra LifeSciences

Integra Dermal Regeneration Template

A bilayer membrane system for skin replacement. The dermal replacement layer is made of a porous matrix of fibres of cross-linked bovine tendon collagen and glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin-6-sulphate) that are manufactured to have a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate. The collagen-glycosaminoglycan biodegradable matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth. The epidermal substitute layer is made of a thin polysiloxane (silicone) layer to control moisture loss from the wound. The silicone outer layer is removed when the dermal skin has regenerated and is replaced with a thin epidermal skin graft.
Integra Dermal Regeneration Template Single Layer

Integra Dermal Regeneration Template Single Layer

Available in thin and regular thicknesses, this is an advanced matrix for dermal regeneration. The dermal replacement layer, which consists of a porous three-dimensional matrix comprised of bovine tendon collagen and chondroitin-6-sulphate, is designed to have a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate. It promotes wound healing in a single application. Integra Single Layer Template can be used as a standalone matrix or in combination with the bilayer Integra Template to add extra thickness to the dermal layer, when wounds of different depths are to be treated.
Integra Meshed Dermal Regeneration Template
Integra LifeSciences

Integra Meshed Dermal Regeneration Template

An advanced bilayer matrix for dermal regeneration. The dermal replacement layer, consisting of a porous three-dimensional matrix comprised of bovine tendon collagen and chondroitin-6-sulfphate, is designed to have a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate, and promotes wound healing in a single application. The temporary epidermal layer is made of synthetic polysiloxane (silicone). The semipermeable silicone membrane controls water vapour loss, provides a flexible adherent covering for the wound surface, and adds increased tear strength to the device. Can be used in conjunction with NPWT.
