How does it work? When the DERMAGRAFT®is placed on the ulcer, the mesh material is gradually absorbed and the human cells grow into place and replace the damaged skin. The living cells in DERMAGRAFTâ produce many of the same proteins and growth factors found in healthy skin, which help replace and rebuild the damaged tissue in the diabetic foot ulcer.
When is it used? DERMAGRAFT® is used on: What will it accomplish? DERMAGRAFT® will help to close diabetic foot ulcers that have been present longer than six weeks where the wound is not closing.
When should it not be used? DERMAGRAFT® should not be used on infected ulcers or ulcers with sinus tracts (tunneling). It should not be used on patients allergic to products derived from cows because there is bovine serum in the packaging solution.
