The extra-cellular matrix is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports our cells. During wound healing the extracellular matrix acts as a scaffold within the wound providing a structure on which cells can attach and migrate in order to repair injured tissue.
VitroGro® provides a temporary scaffold on which wound cells can attach and migrate. This is important in chronic wounds where healing needs to commence from the edges of the wound. Once wound cells have adhered to a temporary VitroGro® matrix they can repair injured tissue and restore balance by producing a new extracellular matrix.
