Maintains Nutrient Rich Growth Factors
- Provenda® amniotic-derived tissues may be used as a soft tissue barrier and wound covering that retains endogenous extracellular matrix (ECM), growth factors, and cytokines1-4 essential for signaling. The properties of Provenda amniotic tissue help provide protection to damaged tissue while maintaining nutrient-rich growth factors.5,6
Protective Barrier
- Processing retains the intermediate (spongy) layer and preserves the inherent properties of amniotic tissue which retains extracellular matrix molecules, growth factors, and cytokines.5
- Acts as a protective barrier to prevent adhesions at the surgical site while supporting damaged tissue.4
Provenda Amniotic Membrane
- Maintains the amnion layer, intermediate / spongy layer, and the chorion.
- ~400um thickness (≈.4mm), up to 4x thicker than traditional amnion.
- Multilayer membrane for improved handling and increased workability.
Provenda Max Umbilical Cord Membrane
- Derived from the umbilical cord.
- ~400um thickness (≈.4mm), up to 4x thicker than traditional amnion.
- Robust tissue density allows for suturing in place.
