What is AMNIOCORD?
AMNIOCORD® is a dehydrated human umbilical cord allograft that provides a protective environment to support the healing process. It is comprised of an extracellular matrix of hyaluronic acid and collagen.
AMNIOCORD Product Benefits
As a primary component in the umbilical cord, natural HA hydrates and reinforces collagen, forming a reinforced matrix to support the wound healing cascade.
Protective Environment
AMNIOCORD provides a protective environment to support the healing process.
Regulatory Proteins
AMNIOCORD provides a human biocompatible extracellular matrix of hyaluronic acid and collagen and contains 250+ regulatory proteins.1,2

Making a Difference
AMNIOCORD Processing & Details
AMNIOCORD is processed using PURION, a unique patented method for placental-based allografts that is in accordance with the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) standards. The product is derived from placental tissue donated by healthy, consenting mothers who have given live Caesarean section birth in the US.
MIMEDX’s patented PURION process preserves extracellular matrix components, including regulatory factors and other matrix-associated proteins. For an additional level of safety, the product is terminally sterilized.
