Advanced Tissue Preservation

Lyophilization

Cryopreservation is the traditional technique used to preserve and store living cells and tissues for an extended period. It involves the use of ultra-low temperature equipment for storage and dry ice for shipping. Lyophilization removes these barriers while preserving characteristics similar to that of a fresh amnion.

Lyophilization offers significant benefits over traditional cryopreservation.

More User-Friendly

Straightforward preparation leads to faster application time, smoother handling and a more cost-effective use compared to cryopreserved and dehydrated membranes.

Room Temperature Storage

Ambient temperature storage and transportation remove the necessity for expensive shipping and cold storage.

Tissue Characteristics

The preservation process is designed to maintain characteristics of the native tissue.

Dehydration

Dehydration is a common preservation technique and is widely used to create stable, easily stored products that maintain critical growth factors, proteins and biological components essential for healing.

While dehydrated amnion offers extended shelf life and room temperature storage, making it more accessible for clinical and surgical use, the preparation of dehydrated tissue can be more involved than lyophilized or cryopreserved amnion.
