Amniocore (Q4227)
Key Features & Benefits:
- Provides a biologic barrier membrane composed of donated human amniotic tissue; retains native extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, cytokines.
- Supplied in a dehydrated / non-cryopreserved form, stored at room temperature, easy to handle.
- Repositionable: returns to shape when hydrated.
- Supports anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring, and regenerative effects due to native bioactive factors. (common to amniotic grafts)
- Dual-layer architecture (amnion + chorion) enhances structural integrity and barrier function.
Indications / Use Cases:
- As a biologic barrier or covering in soft tissue, surgical, or wound-healing settings.
- Applications in orthopedics, general surgery, urology, vascular, etc.
Mechanism / Performance:
- Delivers biologic cues (growth factors, matrix proteins) to modulate inflammation, promote cellular migration and regeneration.
- Acts as a provisional scaffold while host tissue remodels.
Contraindications / Warnings:
- Single patient, single use only.
- Use promptly once opened (e.g. within 6 hours).
- Not indicated in actively infected wounds.
- Confirm donor screening, sterility.
Application / Handling Instructions:
- No reconstitution needed (dehydrated form) in many cases.
- Trim to desired size; hydrate if required.
- Place with basement membrane side toward tissue (per product guidelines).
- Secure appropriately; cover with secondary dressing if needed.
- Monitor healing progression.
