CHECKPOINT ACMShield™
SOFT TISSUE BARRIER
CHECKPOINT ACMShield™ is a dehydrated placental membrane allograft for use as a protective barrier in surgical applications. Comprised of the complete, intact layers of amniotic tissue and minimally processed to preserve the native structure of the tissue, ACMShield is an ideal protective barrier and extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold for use in a variety of surgical applications, such as nerve and tendon repair.
AN INTACT, FULL-THICKNESS BARRIER FOR OPTIMAL PROTECTION
Lacking an appropriate protective barrier following surgical intervention may result in susceptibility to further degradation or slower healing of underlying tissue, as well as loss of physical separation between adjacent tissues due to the formation of post-operative adhesions.1-4
Using a protective barrier, such as ACMShield, following surgical intervention aids in maintaining temporary physical protection and separation between the repaired structure, such as a nerve or tendon, and adjacent tissue.
ACMShield Advantages
- Includes the complete amnion and chorion layers, including the epithelial and spongy layers, for improved handling
- Minimal processing preserves native structure and benefits of amniotic tissue
- Rapid rehydration in situ
- Self-adherent, but fixation may be used by method of choice, if desired
- Multiple sizes for a variety of surgical applications
- 5-year shelf life with ambient temperature storage
- Terminally sterilized for patient safety
