Amniotic Membrane to Cover and Protect Wounds
Human amniotic membrane allograft for in vivo wound covering
Comprised of
Amniotic Membrane
ASGBarrier™ is a human tissue allograft comprised of minimally manipulated amniotic membrane derived from the placental tissue of consenting mothers at the time of a full-term, elective Cesarean birth.
Wound Healing Properties
ASGBarrier™ contains growth factors, cytokines, amino acids, carbohydrates, hyaluronic acid, and ECM proteins that are known to aid in the healing and repair of wounds.
In Vivo
Application
ASGBarrier™ allografts are affixed to polymesh and can be sutured, glued or laid in place in vivo. Once the polymesh is removed, either side of the allograft may be applied to the target tissue.
Use in various
Procedures
ASGBarrier™ is available wet or dry, in a variety of sizes, and may be trimmed to the desired size or shape. It can be used in open incision, laparoscopy or da Vinci® Surgical System procedures
Construct a Natrual Scaffold
The wound healing elements found in ASGBarrier™ are known to facilitate migration and proliferation of cells to the site of injury and construct a natural scaffold on which new tissue growth can occur.
Chorion-Free
Allograft
Unlike other amniotic tissue allografts on the market, Surgilogix allografts do not contain chorion, which reduces the risk of an adverse reaction in the patient.
Benefits of Amniotic Tissue
Human amniotic tissue is known to contain Fibroblast Growth Factor, Epidermal Growth Factor, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Transforming Growth Factor beta 1, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor AA and BB and Cytokines.
Amniotic tissue is a regenerative biofactory, with key components known to optimize the wound healing environment including cytokines, amino acids, carbohydrates, hyaluronic acid, growth factors, extracellular matrix components and cellular components.
Class II antigen expression is mitigated in amniotic tissue minimizing immunogenicity and reducing the risk of graft versus host reaction.
Amniotic tissue is known to contain the following extracellular matrix elements: Collagen Types I, III, IV, and VII, Laminin, TIMPs, Fibronectin, Proteoglycans, and Hyaluronic Acid.
