New Evidence Highlights Effectiveness and Value of AMNIOX Medical Products

, , Comments Off on New Evidence Highlights Effectiveness and Value of AMNIOX Medical Products

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AMNIOX Medical, Inc., a TissueTech™, Inc., company, announced today that eight clinical posters demonstrating the effectiveness of NEOX® Wound Allograft – Amniox’s proprietary cryopreserved Umbilical Cord and Amniotic Membrane (UC/AM) product for chronic wound management – will be presented at this week’s Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) and Wound Healing Society Meeting. The meeting is being held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, from April 13-17.

Following peer review, all eight posters were accepted for presentation at the symposium. These posters present therapeutic and surgical applications of NEOX Would Allograft in a range of severe wound types, including chronic diabetic ulcers, some with exposed bone; ulcers caused by livedoid vasculopathy; calciphylaxis; and large traumatic wounds. In all cases, patients achieved complete healing of their wounds within one to two applications of NEOX, with minimal to no scarring, significantly reduced pain and improved mobility.

Thomas J. Dugan, Chief Executive Officer of Amniox Medical, said, “Across all of the cases presented in these eight posters, NEOX helped clinicians close difficult-to-heal wounds in a relatively short time, and enhance quality of life for patients with reduced pain and improved outcomes in other important ways. In many cases these outcomes resulted in saved limbs, and very likely saved lives. This is extraordinarily gratifying, and we are delighted that so many great examples of NEOX’s clinical effectiveness and value can shared with this year’s SAWC attendees. It is this clinical success that has resulted in amniotic membrane-based products quickly becoming the most frequently used advanced tissue therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds.”

Amniox Medical is featuring its NEOX Wound Allograft and other products at Booth #753. The body of new evidence on display at SAWC includes the following posters:

Amniox parent TissueTech pioneered the commercialization and clinical application of human umbilical cord and amniotic membrane to promote regenerative healing. In utero, wound healing occurs rapidly and with minimal scar. This restorative ability is innate to these placental tissues and can be preserved and transplanted to adults. Heavy chain hyaluronic acid/pentraxin-3 (HC-HA/PTX3) is the key protein complex present in these tissues to orchestrate that regenerative healing process.

Amniox Medical is the first provider of a human tissue allograft composed of both umbilical cord and amniotic membrane. Amniox utilizes its proprietary CRYOTEK™ process, a cryopreservation technology that preserves the biological and structural integrity of these tissues more effectively than other available technologies. Since the company’s inception, more than 200,000 human transplants of its products have been performed and more than 300 peer-reviewed studies supporting its technology platform have been published.

About Amniox Medical, Inc.

Founded in 2011 to serve the orthopedic and wound care markets, Amniox Medical is dedicated to developing and marketing regenerative therapies processed from umbilical cord and amniotic membrane utilizing its proprietary CRYOTEK technology. This process has been proven to preserve the innate biological and structural properties of the matrix, which can then be transplanted to adult wound and surgical environments. Amniox Medical procures its tissue through elective donation following healthy live birth via Cesarean section. Thorough donor screening is performed to ensure safety of its products.
