Derm-Maxx is a freeze-dried decellularized dermal matrix allograft that is provided from consenting donors.
INTENDED USES: It is used for integumentary augmentation and serve as a covering for wounds and skin defects.
CLAIMED BENEFITS: The Derm-Maxx Allograft is produced using a process that reduces native nucleic acids, cells and other antigenic material while preserving the collagen matrix with vascular channels. The extracellular matrix supports cellular infiltration, attachment, and proliferation. The unique processing technique preserves the collagen and elastic tissue fibers while maintaining the open channels through which cells can migrate, proliferate and form new blood vessels. This biologic process is crucial to the integration and remodeling of the allograft by host cells.
OPTION: Derm-Maxx comes in various sizes; the provider uses the size that most closely matches the skin defect or the wound area. It is applied directly to the affected area. It comes in sterile pouches.

The addition of Skin Substitutes or Cellular or Tissue Based Products (CTPs) to certain wounds may afford a healing advantage over dressings and conservative treatments when these options appear insufficient to affect complete healing, after at least a 30 day period of comprehensive conservative therapy. 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
For Medicare to cover this product, it needs to be ordered and applied by your clinician. A patient cannot purchase it directly from a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) store and receive reimbursement for it.
