In this section, you have learned:

  • INTEGRA™ Matrix Wound Dressing is indicated for the management of 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), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and skin tears) and draining wounds. This device is intended for one-time use.


  • INTEGRA™ Matrix Wound Dressing is an advanced wound care device comprised of a
    porous matrix of cross-linked bovine tendon collagen and glycosaminoglycan. The collagen-glycosaminoglycan biodegradable matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth.

  • The wound is surgically debrided or excised to viable tissue and INTEGRA™ Matrix Wound Dressing is applied. Over the next 2-4 weeks, the matrix is remodeled as the patient's cells rebuild the damaged site while simultaneously degrading the collagen-GAG matrix. For larger wounds, a thin epidermal autograft 0.004-0.006 inches (0.1016 - 0.1524 millimeters) may be applied. As shown, wound closure is typically complete in about 30 days.
