A Message from our Founder and Chief Technology Officer

Dr. Scheffer Tseng, MD, PhD

Did you know…

There are 6.5 MILLION PEOPLE in the U.S. who suffer from deficient chronic wound healing.1 The incidence rate continues to rise due to an aging population and increased risk factors, leading to complications including severe discomfort, infection, and amputations.1

Around 70 MILLION SURGERIES are performed each year — all resulting in wounds — many with comorbidities that may lead to challenging healing.2

OVER $25 BILLION ARE SPENT ANNUALLY on the treatment of chronic wounds.18 There is a growing burden due to an aging population, diabetes, and obesity.18 There are over $13.1 BILLION IN MEDICARE COSTS for non-healing and infected-healing surgical wounds (even greater than the cost of treating diabetic foot ulcers).22

The way we prepare human birth tissue makes all the difference.

  • Delivers the natural power of human birth tissue to wound environments3
  • Helps manage discomfort, reduce adhesions and promotes a healing environment3-20
  • Promotes higher healing rates compared to Standard of Care6-12,15,16

Bring the natural power of human birth tissue to your surgical patients and discover a paradigm shift in healing and functional recovery.3

Advanced Wound Therapy Beyond Compare

For over 30 years, our pioneering scientists have focused on understanding the regenerative features of human birth tissue—ultimately identifying HC-HA/PTX3 as a key orchestrator in human birth tissue regenerative healing.

The Solution

A comprehensive family of amniotic membrane allografts used as adjunct therapies for the management of regenerative healing and functional recovery of surgical, acute, and chronic wounds.

Well, 6 weeks ago I couldn’t walk. Today I’m walking a mile!

This is just a miracle to me because I don’t even have pain. The physical therapy was great too. But I’m perfect now!

Catherine F.

He was clearly limping (heavily) and in pain. When I asked what was going on he said his doctor recommended a partial knee replacement, but that he wasn’t going to have surgery because of the COVID risk.

My dad’s doc was able to get him all the info he needed to approve and get my dad the injection. My dad said the pain is much better, he’s not limping and even sleeping better. My mom confirmed that he wasn’t just telling me that. He is truly better and not limping anymore.
