Matrix Wound Dressing is indicated for the
management of wounds including:
partial and full thickness wounds, pressure
ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, chronic
vascular ulcers, tunneled/undermined wounds,
surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-Moh's
surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound
dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations,
second-degree burns, and skin tears) and draining
wounds. This device is intended for one-time
use.
- INTEGRA™
Matrix Wound Dressing is an advanced
wound care device comprised of a
porous matrix of cross-linked bovine tendon
collagen and glycosaminoglycan. The collagen-glycosaminoglycan
biodegradable matrix provides a scaffold for
cellular invasion and capillary growth.
- The wound is surgically
debrided or excised to viable tissue and INTEGRA™
Matrix Wound Dressing is applied. Over
the next 2-4 weeks, the matrix is remodeled
as the patient's cells rebuild the damaged
site while simultaneously degrading the collagen-GAG
matrix. For larger wounds, a thin epidermal
autograft 0.004-0.006 inches (0.1016 - 0.1524
millimeters) may be applied. As shown, wound
closure is typically complete in about 30
days.
