Artacent AC is an allogeneic matrix
INTENDED USES: Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Pressure Ulcer, Venous Stasis Ulcer, Burns, Mohs Surgery
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Artacent AC’s tri-layer (amnion-chorion-amnion) structure gives it three times the strength for easier handling and wound-site positioning. It is minimally processed using Tides Medical’s proprietary Artacleanse® process: strong enough to make a graft safe for implantation, but gentle enough to maintain the natural biologic factors. Minimal processing retains higher molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (HA), maintaining structural tissue strength. Can be applied on either side, remains in place, and doesn’t require sutures. Stores dry at room temperature for up to 5 years from date of manufacturing.
OPTION: per square centimeter

There are currently a wide variety of bioengineered products available for soft tissue coverage to affect closure. • Human skin allografts are derived from donated human skin (cadavers) • Allogeneic matrices are derived from human tissue (fibroblasts or membrane) • Composite matrices are derived from human keratinocytes, fibroblasts and xenogeneic collagen • Acellular matrices are derived from xenogeneic collagen or tissue
