Vendaje® AC
by
Vendaje AC® is a human connective tissue matrix comprised of dehydrated amniotic/chorionic tissue
which is manufactured using our proprietary BioREtain process. This creates a dehydrated human amniotic/chorionic membrane (DHACM) allograft.
VENDAJE AC® is intended for homologous use as a protective covering.
VENDAJE AC allografts
- are held in place via hydrostatic tension and may be used in an open incision or placed as a dermal substitute.*
- are aseptically processed and terminally sterilized via e-beam irradiation.
- have a 4-year shelf life and can be stored at ambient temperatures.
*Standard fixation can be used. Reference VENDAJE instructions for use.
A Natural Foundation for Healing
Placentally-derived human amniotic membrane (AM) is a potent source of growth factors and cytokines and has successfully been used in regenerative medicine for over a century. Early users of AM for wounds and post-surgical applications noted how the membrane seemed to disappear and integrate with the patient’s own tissue without a host reaction. This apparent immune neutrality is a result of mechanisms that suppress and modulate the immune system.
The use of AM was initially limited due to storage challenges associated with use of the fresh tissue. Modern processing methods – including dehydration – have delivered options that have longer shelf lives, can be stored at ambient temperatures, and can be terminally sterilized.
Dehydrated human amniotic membrane (DHAM) is now widely used across clinical specialties as a covering for chronic wounds, burns, incisions and other treatment areas where a protective barrier is needed.
