keramatrix® is an absorbable matrix rich in keratin protein that delivers Replicine™ Functional Keratin® as it dissolves into the wound. Due to the unique biological function of keratin protein, keramatrix® delivers a level performance typically associated with high cost biological dressings, in a much lower cost and much more convenient format.
Indications
keramatrix® is designed for full and partial thickness wounds with low to high exudate, such as:
- Venous leg ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Skin graft donor sites
- First and second degree burns
- Superficial injuries, cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds
Improved Wound Healing
keramatrix® has demonstrated faster epithelialization rates and more robust skin after healing in numerous clinical studies. In vitro studies have shown that Replicine™ Functional Keratin® increases the rates of proliferation and migration of keratinocyte cells, specifically encouraging keratinocyte cells into a active healing phase earlier than when keramatrix® is not used. This means keramatrix® can speed healing, improve the healed outcome and reduce cost of care in the following treatment areas:
- Chronic Wound Care
- Burn Treatment
- Donor Site Treatment
- Skin Tears
