About Vendaje AC®
Available by prescription through healthcare providers in all 50 states, Vendaje AC offers patients with non-healing wounds an advanced wound care option that acts as a protective barrier or covering to provide an environment for wound healing and closure. Vendaje AC is a thicker human connective tissue matrix comprised of dehydrated amniotic/chorionic tissue. Manufactured using BioStem’s patented six-step proprietary BioREtain® process, Vendaje AC naturally contains extracellular matrix scaffolding, which provides mechanical protection and functional support for cell attachment, growth factors that help modulate proliferation and angiogenesis, and cytokines that inhibit inflammatory effects, all of which are critical in aiding the body’s natural healing cascade.
