Merakris to showcase new Lyophilized Amnion Chorion Allograft at the Fall Symposium for Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in Las Vegas at booth 440 on October 2-5, 2024.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Merakris Therapeutics announces the launch of Dermacyte AC Matrix, an advanced Lyophilized Amnion Chorion Membrane Allograft, which will be featured at the Fall Symposium for Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in Las Vegas.

Dermacyte AC Matrix, a Lyophilized Amnion Chorion Membrane Allograft, utilizes an optimized bioprocess for graft preservation and reabsorption. As opposed to dehydrated products on the market, the lyophilized Dermacyte AC Matrix offers improved retention of certain proteins based on its solubility profile.

This full thickness human amnion-chorion membrane allograft features multiple membrane layers for the protection of deep volume tissue defects. Lab testing shows that Dermacyte AC Matrix maintains the physical and biological characteristics of both major placental membranes.

Specifically, findings that will be presented at the SAWC meeting include test results suggesting that the lyophilized allograft demonstrates a higher retention of proteins-approximately two times greater-when compared to dehydrated amnion-chorion, while also maintaining structural integrity.

"Lyophilization of amnion-chorion significantly improves the physical and biological aspects of this multi-layer membrane in lab-based testing compared to dehydrated/air-dried amnion-chorion,” said Merakris CEO Chris Broderick. "We are excited to unveil the full slate of in vitro testing results we have obtained, and even more excited to launch this new product.”
