Endoform® Antimicrobial

Endoform® Antimicrobial Is an extracellular matrix which supports all phases of healing. It contains:

Natural intact collagen scaffold
Secondary molecules that are important during healing
Only natural tissue components

Endoform® Antimicrobial is a natural collagen scaffold with 0.3% ionic silver to protect it from microbial colonisation. Benefits include:

Minimal impact on cell viability
Provides extended antimicrobial protection for up to 7 days
Has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial protection

Products

Endoform® Antimicrobial Dermal Template is an advanced wound care dressing primarily composed of natural, non-reconstituted collagen retaining the native extracellular matrix associated macromolecules including fibronectin, glycosaminoglycans, laminin, and elastin.

Endoform® Antimicrobial Dermal Template contains approximately 12 pg/cm2 (-0.3% w/w) ionic silver, intended to inhibit colonisation of the dressing. The dressing is effective against a broad spectrum of microbes, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata, Escherichia coli, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), coagulase negative Staphylococci, group A (beta-hemolytic) Streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger; and Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE). The dressing provides sustained antimicrobial effectiveness within the dressing for up to 7 days.

How to apply Endoform® Natural and Endoform® Antimicrobial

Endoform® Mechanism of Action – Protease Modulation

Endoform® extracellular matrix (ECM) stays intact in the wound bed to help provide visual cues to wound healing and modulate unbalanced wound proteases. This animation describes how Endoform® works in the wound bed to assist with wound healing and help build new tissue.

Endoform® Application in Pediatrics

Watch as Dr. Amaya (Pediatric Wound Care & Laser Specialists, Houston, Texas) demonstrates the proper use of Endoform® to dress and protect a child’s wounds. This dermal template helps wounds heal and close, as well as help grow new skin over your child’s wound.

Clinical Resource Library

NEW RESOURCE – Using Endoform® to Escape the Inflammatory Phase Earlier

Chronic wounds are characterized by elevated wound proteases and high bioburden which limits healing and traps wounds in the inflammatory phase. The following Clinical Resource shows how Endoform® can be used to help wounds escape the inflammatory phase.
