MicroMatrix® Flex is a dual-syringe system designed to enable convenient mixing and delivery of MicroMatrix® UBM Particulate to hard-to-reach wound areas.
INTENDED USES: MicroMatrix Flex is intended for the management of wounds including: partial and fullthickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, tunneled/undermined wounds, surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, partial thickness burns, skin tears), draining wounds. The device is intended for one time use.
CLAIMED BENEFITS: MicroMatrix® Flex device is supplied as a dual-syringe system for the mixing and delivery of a MicroMatrix® paste for the management of wounds. The particulate component of the device is composed of porcine-derived extracellular matrix known as urinary bladder matrix. The MicroMatrix® particulate within the MicroMatrix® Flex device is lyophilized (freeze-dried) micronized particles of porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix.
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 allogeneic (non-related human donors) or xenogeneic (other species) collagen, membrane, or cellular remnants
