GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix
The patented cryogenic processing of the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix prevents ice crystal formation thus minimizing any damage to the matrix to help avoid an inflammatory response to the graft.
By protecting the matrix through the processing steps, the vascular channels are preserved as demonstrated in this electron micrograph.
Dermis is very vascular making the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix an excellent graft template for many different tissue type repairs.
These channels act as a template for rapid initial revascularization through what is called inosculation. This is simply communication of existing blood vessels in the body with the preserved channels in the graft. New blood vessels will be formed later through the process known as angiogenesis.
