AmnioBand® Viable Membrane is a cryopreserved human allograft that is minimally processed to retain its inherent extracellular matrix components as well as a viable population of endogenous, adherent progenitor cells. AmnioBand® Viable is intended to be used as a protective covering for internal and external tissue defects including acute, chronic and surgically created wounds. It is intended for single use only.

The presence of severe vascular compromise, active or latent infection or uncontrolled infection at the wound site may compromise the usefulness of the tissue.

Do not sterilize. Trace amounts of processing solution may remain. Prescription use only. Trace amounts of vancyomycin, amphotericin B, gentamicin, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO 10%) may be present. Caution should be exercised if the patient is allergic to any of these substances. NOTE: No beta-lactam antibiotics are used during the processing of tissue.
Do not use if packaging seal is damaged or not intact, if packaging has physical damage, if label or identifying bar code is severely damaged and illegible, if expiration date has passed, if allograft is received thawed, if not used within one hour after thawing or if stored at a temperature not recommended.
Extensive medical screening procedures have been used in the selection of all tissue donors for MTF (please see Donor Screening and Testing of product insert). Transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV or hepatitis, as well as a theoretical risk of the Creutzfeld-Jakob (CJD) agent, may occur in spite of careful donor selection and serological testing.

Possible adverse effects of using human tissue include, but are not limited to: infection, fever, disease transmission and undesirable human response, loss of function and/or integrity of the allograft due to resorption, fragmentation and/or disintegration.

Store at or below -70°C.
