PriMatrix Dermal Repair Scaffold

Description

Acellular dermal tissue matrix derived from fetal bovine dermis. Particularly rich in type III collagen, which is found in fetal dermis and is associated with developing and healing tissues. It creates an environment that supports cellular repopulation and revascularisation. Suitable for the management of the most challenging wounds, notably ulcers on the lower limb. Free of contaminants and artificial chemical crosslinks. Available in solid, fenestrated and meshed versions (meshed can be expanded 2:1).
