4 Abnormal Wound Repair Diabetes mellitus and wound healing 7 Affects the acute inflammatory response Defective phagocytosis Insufficient cellular response Poor vasodilation Inadequate granulation response Dysfunctional fibroblasts due to low intracellular glucose Poor deposition of extracellular matrix Collagen synthesis dependent on oxygen 7. Carson SN. Diabetes mellitus and wound healing. 8.

5 Repair Process is Based on Inflammation Leads to Scar Formation Fibrin scaffold Inflammation and proliferation Fibrosis and remodeling to scar Repair DSL #

6 Algorithm for Application of Acellular Matrices Previous studies have shown that reduction in the area of chronic wound during the first four weeks of treatment is a predictor of complete healing at 12 weeks. 9. If no improvement is seen at this time, there should be further evaluation of the patient and current treatment strategy. 9. Sheehan P., Jones P. Caselli A et al. Percent change in wound area of diabetic foot ulcers over a 4 week period is a robust predictor of complete healing in a 12 week prospective trial. Diabetes Care 2003; 26 (6);

7 Extracellular Matrix Products A variety of extracellular matrix products (ECM) available in the treatment of diabetic wounds. These products act as a scaffold to allow wound closure to occur using the body s natural healing response. The EMC collagen reduces elastase levels in the wound environment and this subsequently decreases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production. 10. Extracellular matrices also rely on collagen component to allow for more efficient angiogenesis and greater fibroblast chemotaxis Khurram K, Harkless L., Extracellular Matrices : Are They Worth It? Podiatry Today, July, Fleck CA, Understanding the mechanism of collagen dressings, Advances in Skin & Wound Care,2005

8 Ideal Properties of an Acellular Matrix for hard to Heal Wounds Structural Closely resembles native ECM (i.e. retains natural architecture and key components for wound healing. Minimal storage/preparation needed and long shelf life. Terminally sterile (i.e. cannot transmit viral or other agents)

9 Biological Provides barrier to infection (i.e. innate immunity) Resistant to proteolytic enzyme degradation Promotes optimal cell activity for rapid revascularization and tissue regeneration.

10 Clinical Process Single or infrequent application Easy to handle/apply and secure Cost effective/reimburseable Consistent with standard of care Outcome No host immune response Improves patient comfort/reduces pain Reduction in wound size/complete closure Reduced or no scarring and good skin durability Low complication rate

11 Acellular Matrices and Wound Healing Wound healing is a dynamic process involving interactions between cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factors that reconstitutes tissue following injury. 12. The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in tissue regeneration and is the major component of the dermal skin layer. Provides a structural support for cells. Some components of the ECM bind to growth factors to stimulate cell proliferation and migration Clark, RA, Ghosh K, Tonnesen MG, Tissue engineering for cutaneous wounds. J. Invest Dermatol 2007; 127 (5); Schultz GS, Wysocki A. Interactions between extracellular matrix and growth factors in wound Healing. Wound Repair Regen 2009; 17 (2)

12 Features of Dermal Matrix Scaffold Key technology features Supports revascularization and cellular repopulation by host tissue Facilitates tissue regeneration capability which converts to functional host tissue 12, 13. Excellent mechanical properties for ease of handling and grafting 12.Snyder, SJ., Arnoczky SP., Bond JL, Dopirak R., Histologic Evaluation of a Biopsy Specimen 3 Months After Rotator Cuff Augmentation With GraftJacket Matrix Arthroscopy, Vol 25, No 3 (March), 2009: pp Linden BA., Simmons M., Histologic Evaluation of a 6 month GraftJacket Matrix Biopsy Used for Achilles Tendon Augmentation, J. American Podiatric Medical Association, March/April 2009, Vol. 99 No 2, pp

13 Extracellular Matrix Contains Complex Three Dimensional Information Regenerative Tissue Matrix Native collagen and natural matrix components Matrix capable of supporting cellular repopulation and revascularization into host tissue Fibrillar collagens and Collagen VI Elastin Hyaluronan Large and small Proteoglycans Fibronectin Vascular Channels

14 Benefits of Dermal Matrix Scaffold in Chronic Wound Repair

15 Unique Dermal Matrix Features: Contains intact vascular channels for revascularization Preserved extracellular matrix for rapid cell repopulation Supports regeneration of host tissue More of a like for like replacement Preserved vascular channels provide a pipeline for cellular repopulation. 400x Dermal Matrix 21 days post implantation in the athymic nude rat intramuscular model demonstrating extensive cellular infiltration.

16 Clinical Data Studied in the treatment of deep, chronic diabetic foot ulcers This body of evidence demonstrates that the Acellular Dermal Matrix, in conjunction with good standard wound care, demonstrates that the body can heal challenging chronic diabetic foot ulcers faster than standard wound care alone

24 Dakin s Solution Dakin's solution is used to prevent and treat skin and tissue infections.it is also used before and after surgery to prevent surgical wound infections. Dakin's solution is a type of hypochlorite solution. It is made from bleach that has been diluted and treated to decrease irritation. Chlorine, the active ingredient in Dakin's solution, is a strong antiseptic that kills most forms of bacteria and viruses. When used on wounds, Dakin's solution can be poured on to the affected area as an irrigation or cleanser. It is also used to wet certain types of wound dressings (e.g., wet to moist dressing). The body's own wound healing tissues and fluids can decrease the antibacterial effect of Dakin's solution. Therefore, this solution is often used only once daily for minor wounds and twice daily for heavily draining or contaminated wounds. Protect the surrounding healthy skin with a moisture barrier ointment (e.g., petroleum jelly) or skin sealant as needed to prevent irritation.

25 Dakin s Solution Dakin's solution containing hypochlorite (dilute bleach) has a broad antibacterial activity but is toxic to fibroblasts and it has been found that wound treated with Dakin's solution were significantly slower to epithelize and neovascularize [23], [24], [25] It also retards collagen synthesis and delays epithelization, and also inhibits migration of neutrophils in a wound bed, thus undermining the body's natural defense system [22]. They are toxic to tissues because they oxidize tissue enzymes [26].

55 .25% Acetic Acid Dilute acetic acid though successfully used by many workers for the treatment of wound infections caused by P. aeruginosa, Lineaweaver et al. showed that a 0.25% acetic acid solution killed 100% of exposed fibroblasts in an in vitro model so that impaired wound healing would be expected at any clinically effective concentration. Acetic acid has also been shown to slow down the wound epithelization and to limit polymorphonuclear neutrophilfunction[29].
