WHAT IS ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX?

ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix is a bioengineered, electrospun synthetic polymer matrix used as a resorbable synthetic graft for the management of partial to full thickness wounds.

IS ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX CLEARED AS A 510K MEDICAL DEVICE?

Yes, ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix is cleared as a 510K medical device.

HOW DOES ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX DIFFER FROM CTPS?

ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix is bioengineered utilizing two resorbable synthetic polymers—polyglycolic acid (PGA) and poly lactide co-caprolactone (PLCL). Through a patented manufacturing process, ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix provides a non-woven, microporous scaffold that acts as a stimulus for cellular migration, infiltration and proliferation. Via hydrolysis, ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix naturally resorbs contributing glycolic, lactic and caproic acids to the wound microenvironment to correct, restore and accelerate the body’s natural wound healing process.

WHAT IMPACT DOES ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX HAVE ON PH?

During in vitro degradation testing in isotonic PBS solution, the matrix demonstrated a drop in pH from 7.4 to 4.75 over one week.17

HOW IS ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX APPLIED?

ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix should be applied within the confines of the wound following appropriate debridement. ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix may be affixed using steri-strips or surgical glue as needed and covered with a nonadherent dressing.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL TIME FOR DEGRADATION OF ELECTROFIBER 3D™ WOUND MATRIX?

The total time for degradation is between 7 – 14 days. ElectroFiber 3D™ Wound Matrix may be applied weekly or biweekly at the provider’s discretion.
