View details. Our mission is to leverage that technology to help patients around the world. These new 16 x 25 cm and 16 x 35 cm sheets provide full coverage for areas of extensive tissue loss as one of the largest wound management device footprints on the market. Visit our on-demand library of webinars led by clinical experts showcasing how ACell products are used to treat patients with complex cases.
Now offering two larger sizes in the Cytal Wound Matrix 3-Layer product line. These additional sizes will provide larger coverage for areas with extensive tissue loss.
Gentrix is a resorbable, non-crosslinked surgical device designed to strengthen and support the repair of soft tissue defects including ventral, parastomal, and hiatal hernias. MicroMatrix is an easy to apply, fully-resorbable particulate that provides intimate contact with wounds and is ideal for irregular or tunneling wounds.
Cytal is a highly conformable, pre-fenestrated sheet that is available in multiple sizes and thicknesses to allow for tailored wound management. Cytal Burn Matrix devices are non-crosslinked scaffolds that allow for the repair and remodeling of soft tissue that has been damaged by second degree burns.
See How It Works. Pigs and people systems are close enough that ECM taken from the porkers can be processed and reformed into sheets or powders compatible with humans. As your body grows upon the scaffold, it is slowly absorbed and metabolized into the body. This allows for faster healing and the generation of normal tissue where the wound used to be.
It is likely as experiments in mice have shown that the ECM is actually attracting stem cells from your marrow to itself and that these stem cells are at least partially responsible for the rapid, more complete healing associated with the technology. The media has typically focused on a few anecdotal cases of impressive healing associated with the technology. So, yeah. Others include Mike Christensen, from Nebraska, who regrew a 16mm portion of his left thumb.
ACell has been called quack science and other derivative names in the press because of the sensationalized cases of these fingertip stories.
Its critics point out that fingertips sometimes will regrow on their own. Not completely. Not 16mm perhaps, but a good percentage of that, especially among the very young. We can heal any wound! No, no, and weird. Luckily, we can throw away all the anecdotal and controversial evidence for finger regeneration. ECM technology has many more applications and many more successes to support its claims.
It has been shown to be effective in surgeries involving the heart, esophagus, hernia, surface injuries, bladder, orthopedics, and ear drum. It has helped humans heal fissures in skin, ligament, and muscle tissues. Skip to to get to the good stuff, and watch out for the obligatory fingertip mention at In fact, I may have yelled disparaging words at my TV when I first saw it appear on daytime television. The idea of a powder regrowing limbs seemed like pure science fiction.
The list of ACell publications continues to grow, with many peer-reviewed-journal articles.
