Making a Difference
AMNIOFIX Processing & Details
AMNIOFIX is processed using PURION, a unique patented method for placental allografts that is in accordance with the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) standards. The product is derived from placental tissue donated by healthy, consenting mothers who have given live Caesarean section birth in the US.
MIMEDX’s patented PURION process preserves extracellular matrix components, including regulatory factors and other matrix-associated proteins. For an additional level of safety, the product is terminally sterilized.
