Active Growth Factors
NATURALLY BALANCED FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
The amniotic sac must grow throughout pregnancy to accommodate the increasing size of the fetus. This requires active cellular proliferation and tissue generation, processes that are directed by growth factors in the tissue. High levels of growth factors are needed to keep the amnion-chorion growing at an appropriate rate throughout pregnancy. Over 200 soluble factors have been identified in dehydrated amnion-chorion allografts, including key regulators of wound healing and tissue repair.

When released from the amnion-chorion allograft, these factors have been shown to activate cells in vitro, indicating that they remain active through processing and are available to stimulate cellular activity when placed into surgical treatment sites.

From the paper: “Processed dHACM retains its biological activities related to wound healing, including the potential to positively affect four distinct and pivotal physiological processes intimately involved in wound healing: cell proliferation, inflammation, metalloproteinase activity and recruitment of progenitor cells.”

Our proprietary processing maximizes the growth factor content in each allograft, delivering 20 times the growth factor load over amnion-only products produced with standard processing methods.
