Endoform™ Antimicrobial Restorative Bioscaffold and Endoform™ Natural Restorative Bioscaffold are unique extracellular matrix (ECM) products for the management of acute and chronic wounds. Endoform™ products supports all phases of wound healing and are appropriate for use early in wound management to restore protease balance and advance healing to the proliferative phase. ¹

Endoform™ Antimicrobial Restorative Bioscaffold

Endoform™ Natural Restorative Bioscaffold

Endoform™ products:

• Provide a natural porous ECM bioscaffold for rapid cell infiltration ²

• Contains more than 150 ECM proteins known to be important in wound healing ³

• Contain residual vascular channels to support the establishment of new vasculature ⁴

• Can indicate the presence or absence of proteases and help restore protease balance and guide re-application ⁵

• Can be used by any wound care provider from day 1 ¹

Endoform™ Antimicrobial Restorative Bioscaffold contains 0.3% ionic silver, appropriate for use in early acute and chronic wound management where there is an elevated risk of infection.

• Provides broad spectrum antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days* ⁶

• Prevents biofilm formation ⁶

• Is non-cytotoxic to dermal cells ⁶

*Endoform™ Antimicrobial contains 0.3% ionic silver to protect the dressing from microbial colonization

How It Works

Endoform™ Antimicrobial and Endoform™ Natural Restorative Bioscaffold products work in all phases of healing to stabilize, correct, build and organize tissue.

Endoform™ products are made from AROA ECM™ technology and contain more than 150 extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that enable it to interact with patient’s cells throughout all phases of healing.(1, 2) Endoform™ products are 85% collagen and 15% important secondary molecules, including structural and adhesion proteins, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).(1) Endoform™ products only contain components found in tissue extracellular matrix.

During the inflammatory phase, chronic wounds are characterized by elevated wound proteases that limit healing by digesting important dermal proteins(3) Endoform™ products can help indicate the presence or absence of proteases and restores protease balance.(4, 5) If Endoform™ products are not visible in the wound bed at the time of reapplication, this can indicate elevated wound protease activity. However, if Endoform™ is visible, this can indicate that protease balance has been restored.

Endoform™ products also contain residual vascular channels that facilitate the rapid establishment of a dense capillary network by supporting migrating endothelial cells to establish new vasculature and a robust blood supply to help build new tissue.(6) This process is termed angioconduction.

Indications

Endoform™ Antimicrobial Restorative Bioscaffold and Endoform™ Natural Restorative Bioscaffold products are indicated for the management of acute and chronic wounds including:

• Partial and full thickness wounds

• Pressure ulcers

• Venous ulcers

• Diabetic ulcers

• Chronic vascular ulcers

• Tunneled/undermined wounds

• Surgical wounds (donor sites, grafts, post Moh’s surgery, post laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence)

• Traumatic wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and skin tears)

• Draining wounds
