TheraSkin Product Specifications
TheraSkin®
Living Cell Skin Allograft
TheraSkin is an all-human, split-thickness skin allograft with living cells and retained endogenous growth factors, and a native extracellular matrix. TheraSkin can be vascularized by the recipient following transplantation to support development of granulation tissue, which aids in epithelialization to support wound closure.1-3
- Retained Endogenous Growth Factors: Growth factors and cytokines naturally present in the donated tissue are retained in the donor’s extracellular matrix, to support angiogenesis.
- Intact ECM: TheraSkin ECM provides a natural skin environment to enable a number a functions, including structural support, a substrate for cell movement, and direct interactions with the recipient cells to help facilitate and support healing.
- Living Cells: Viable fibroblasts and keratinocytes, the living cells found within human skin, are critical to support healing of the patient’s damaged or diseased skin.
Clinical Application
A barrier membrane for chronic wounds including:
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Venous Statis Ulcers
- Pressure Ulcers
