AmnioCore delivers essential growth factors on a structural protein matrix with superior handling properties allowing for easy manipulation and making it a flexible, dependable allograft. AmnioCore is desiccated and therefore stored at room temperature, eliminating the need for cryopreservation. The repositionable design reverts to its original shape when placed in water or saline.
Amniotic Tissue has been used clinically for over 100 years with more than 100 publications to date. The use of amniotic tissue is shown to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue and inflammation.
