Notes for Editors
CyzactTM is a topical wound care product comprised of
active,
allogeneic human
dermal fibroblasts embedded in a human
fibrin gel matrix. The product is designed
to stimulate active repair and closure in persistent
chronic wounds.
ICX-SKN is an early stage technology that has been designed to
replace autologous skin grafts in severe burn patients, eliminating
the need for tissue excision, skin grafting and creation of donor
site wounds, which can lead to additional scars and risk of
infection. ICX-SKN provides an architecture that is sufficiently
durable to integrate and persist in burns, and provide immediate
and long-term closure that is robust enough to withstand the
proteases (enzymes that break down proteins and peptides) present
during wound repair. These unique differentiating characteristics
of ICX-SKN also make it ideal for treatment of other skin deficits
that require a surgical graft.
