Abiomend Xplus
by
Abiomend Xplus Membrane is an advanced, crosslinked, chorion-free amniotic tissue designed to support wound healing and tissue regeneration.5 The crosslinking process makes Abiomend Xplus particularly useful in long-term wound coverage and structural support, distinguishing it from non-crosslinked amniotic membranes that degrade quicker.3
Why Choose Abiomend Xplus?
- Crosslinked: Enhances structural integrity and durability.3,5
- Ethically Sourced & Safe: Donor tissues are recovered with maternal consent, using stringent screening and aseptic processing to meet FDA and CLIA standards.
- Rich in Growth Factors: Contains key growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix proteins vital for wound healing.1,3
- Supports Natural Healing: Offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fibrotic properties to promote tissue regeneration.4
- Flexible & Adaptable: Provides greater tensile strength, shape manipulation, and controlled resorption for various clinical applications.3
CROSSLINKED Features
- Increased Strength & Stability: Crosslinking strengthens the extracellular matrix (ECM) by creating covalent bonds between collagen fibers, improving its mechanical properties.5
- Extended Resorption Time: The process slows down the natural degradation of the tissue, allowing it to remain in the body longer for sustained therapeutic effects.3
- Improved Biocompatibility: Crosslinked membranes retain essential growth factors while reducing the risk of rapid breakdown or host rejection.1,3,5
- Enhanced Wound Protection: Provides a more robust and resilient barrier for wound healing and tissue regeneration.4
