How GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix - Ulcer Repair Works
GRAFTJACKET® Matrix, when implanted, does several things. The
goal is to help the body repair the foot sore as quickly as possible. Following your physician's directions may
help prevent infection and possible amputation. GRAFTJACKET® Matrix is an important new advance in foot care.
Wound Coverage
GRAFTJACKET® Matrix provides immediate coverage to the foot ulcer.
This is particularly important if your wound is considered deep. In
these cases, your physician will be most concerned about the wound
becoming infected down to your bone.
Building Blocks for Repair
GRAFTJACKET® Matrix contains collagen, elastin, hyaluronan,
fibronectin, blood vessel channels, and proteoglycans that are
available for use by the body as it repairs itself.
The most important aspect of GRAFTJACKET® Matrix is an intact, three-dimensional matrix to build on. Think of it as the steel scaffolding of a new building. The shape, the strength, the look all begins and depends on the internal structure of the building. The three-dimensional structure provides a means for the body to rebuild the area of missing tissue.
Another important aspect of the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix is that it allows
revascularization
by the body. This means that new blood vessels gain access through
preserved blood vessel channels and allow the conversion of
GRAFTJACKET® Matrix into host tissue.
Lastly, all the components in the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix can be
used by the body when repairing itself.
