INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing is an advanced wound care device comprised of a porous matrix of cross-linked bovine tendon collagen and glycosaminoglycan and a semi-permeable polysiloxane (silicone layer). The semi-permeable silicone membrane controls water vapor loss, provides a flexible adherent covering for the wound surface and adds increased tear strength to the device. The collagen-glycosaminoglycan biodegradable matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth.

INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing:

• Provides immediate wound coverage
  
• Highly conformable for various anatomical sites
  
• Excellent performance in deep donor sites
  
• Exceptional strength and flexibility
  
• Room temperature storage
  
• Long shelf life
  
  
  
• Patients can begin rehabilitation with INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing in place
  
  
• Provides excellent coverage over exposed bone, tendon, cartilage and joints. Of 166 instances of exposed internal structures that are ordinarily closed with flaps, Integra closed 90% of them. (1)
  
• In a study of 107 patients having 158 documented individual ulcers, 92% of patients healed completely by Integra alone or with small subsidiary flaps (excluding poorly selected patients). (1)
