Membrane Wrap Regeneration Service

Product Description

Membrane Wrap is a human tissue allograft derived from the amniotic membrane that provides structural tissue for use as a wound and protectant covering.

PREPARATION & APPLICATION

• Open product box and remove the product pouch.
• Using aseptic technique, peel open the outer pouch and place the inner pouch into the sterile field.
• When ready to use, either tear open the inner pouch at the notch or cut the pouch at the notch to expose the graft.
• Remove graft using dry, sterile gloves or forceps.
• Graft may be cut with scissors before hydration to apply over multiple sites.
• If desired, graft may be hydrated prior to application with sterile saline for tight or hard to reach areas.
• Use forceps to apply the graft over the intended site. Achieve full contact.
• Ensure the HCT/P is secured in place by the Physician’s choice of fixation.

CASCADE OF TISSUE & WOUND HEALING

1. Hemostasis: Hemostasis is a process to prevent and stop bleeding, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage of wound healing.
2. Inflammatory phase: Begins at the time of injury and lasts up to four days. It includes clotting of platelets and constriction of blood vessels to stop blood loss.
3. Proliferative phase: Begins about three days after injury and overlaps with the inflammatory phase. It involves cells called fibroblasts that help to produce new collagen, create new blood vessels, and repair the avascular epithelial tissue.
4. Remodeling phase: Can continue for six months to one year after injury. Collagen continues to increase and the tissue begins to contract with the help of fibroblasts.

ADVANTAGES

• It is a dual layer amnion/amnion membrane.
• Slower degradation rate, i.e. remains intact longer than a single layer grafts.
• More tensile strength than a single layer amnion or amnion/chorion graft.
• Easy to handle, place and reposition.
• Agnostic with respect to sidedness. Both surfaces are identical.
