MicroMatrix

Integra LifeSciences

Description

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.
