| How GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix - Ulcer Repair Works GRAFTJACKET® Matrix, when implanted, provides a biologic scaffold that allows the body to repair the foot sore. Doing so will decrease the chance of infection and possible amputation. GRAFTJACKET® Matrix is an important new advance in foot care. Successful wound repair occurs when GRAFTJACKET® Matrix is used as part of the treatment regimen. In most cases, only one application has been needed. Wound Coverage A key factor 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 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 is readily revascularized by the body. This means that new blood vessels gain access through preserved blood vessel channels and allows the conversion of the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix into host tissue. Lastly, the components in the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix can be used by the body when repairing itself. |
