| Product | Description | FDA Indication | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acellular Dermal Matrix | |||
| AlloDerm® | Freeze dried cadaver skin with preserved basement membrane | *___ | Uncertain vascularization rates, no cells present in scaffold, safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer |
| AlloMax™ | Non-crosslinked human dermis | *___ | No cells present in scaffold, safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer |
| FlexHD® | Hydrated acellular human skin | *___ | No cells present in scaffold, safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer |
| DermaMatrix™ | Allograft derived from human cadaveric skin | *___ | No cells present in scaffold, safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer |
| GraftJacket® | Pre-meshed acellular human dermis | *___ | No cells present in scaffold, safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer |
| Amniotic Membrane | |||
| EpiFix® | Dehydrated amniotic membrane in sheets | *___ | Safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer, unclear effect on angiogenesis |
| Amniofix® | Injectable micronized dehydrated amniotic membrane | *___ | Safety concerns of allogenic disease transfer, unclear effect on angiogenesis |
| Collagen Scaffold | |||
| OASIS® Wound Matrix | Xenogeneic collagen scaffold derived from porcine small intestine | Partial and full thickness wounds; diabetic, pressure, and venous stasis ulcers; surgical wounds, traumatic wounds | Requires multiple applications |
| Living Cell Therapy | |||
| Apligraf® | Bilayered construct w/ human neonatal fibroblasts cultured in bovine type 1 collagen matrix and human neonatal keratinocytes forming the superficial layer of the graft- mimics normal structure of skin | Non-infected, partial and full thickness skin ulcers due to venous insufficiency; nonresponsive full thickness neuropathic diabetic ulcers | Shelf life of 5 days, risk of disease transfer from allogeneic cells, cannot be used for definitive wound closure in full thickness wounds, requires co-grafting with autologous epithelium |
| Dermagraft® | Cryopreserved polyglactin mesh seeded w/ human neonatal foreskin fibroblasts | Diabetic foot ulcers | Requires multiple applications, safety concerns with allogeneic cells |
| Epicel | Cultured epithelial autograft | Deep dermal or full thickness burns | Requires long culture times, short shelf life, variable take rate |
| OrCel® | Bilayered construct w/ human neonatal foreskin fibroblasts and keratinocytes seeded in bovine type 1 collagen sponge | Donor site wounds in burn victims; dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa reconstructive surgery | Allogeneic cell source risk of disease transfer |
| Biosynthetic | |||
| Biobrane® | Temporary wound dressing consisting of nylon imbedded silicon film | Partial thickness burn wounds, donor sites, dressing over meshed autografts | Non-degradable/synthetic and must be removed after 7–14 days |
| Integra | Bovine type 1 collagen and shark chondroitin-6-sulphate glycosaminoglycan dermal component and silicone epidermal layer | Post-excisional treatment of deep partial thickness or full thickness due to thermal injury | Requires about 10–14 days for appropriate vascularization and requires second procedure for complete wound closure |
| TransCyte® | Temporary wound dressing consisting of human dermal fibroblasts grown on nylon mesh containing porcine collagen | Temporary covering over burns until autografting procedure or healed | Non-degradable/synthetic and must be removed after 7–14 days |
Considered “banked human tissue” and does not require FDA approval
