EpiCord is a unique, thick membrane derived from umbilical cord, the structure that protects the arteries and vein that carry essential nourishment and oxygenated blood to and from mother and fetus. EpiCord is a dehydrated, non-viable cellular umbilical cord allograft.
Umbilical cord consists of amniotic epithelium and Wharton’s jelly containing an extracellular matrix composed of collagen, proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid.
EpiCord is processed using the PURION® process, a unique approach that provides an easy to use allograft stored at ambient conditions.
EpiCord is processed from human tissue according to the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) standards, and is regulated as a human cell, tissue, or cellular or tissue-based product (HCT/P) under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act.
