New collagen-based dermal matrix designed for tissue generation, complementary to RECELL and PermeaDerm
Cohealyx expected to triple AVITA Medical's addressable market in burns
VALENCIA, Calif., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVITA Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX: AVH)), a commercial-stage regenerative medicine company focused on first-in-class devices for wound care management and skin restoration, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for Cohealyx™, a new collagen-based dermal matrix branded by AVITA Medical and co-developed with Regenity Biosciences. Cohealyx is designed for tissue integration and revascularization to facilitate wound healing, reduce treatment timelines, and improve patient outcomes in the treatment of full-thickness wounds.
Burns and full-thickness wounds penetrate all layers of the skin, resulting in significant tissue loss and structural damage. Unlike superficial wounds, full-thickness wounds lack the cellular components and structural support necessary to regenerate missing tissue. Without timely surgical intervention, there is heightened risk of delayed closure, infection, and severe scarring. Dermal matrices are essential in two-stage procedures for treating these wounds, as they support tissue generation for successful skin graft take and improve healing outcomes.
