Membracel Regenerative Porous Membrane

Registro ANVISA: 80074780002
Listed FDA: 3006611176

Membracel is a special wound care dressing that acts as a temporary replacement of the skin accelerating the healing process.


The membrane’s pores allow excess exudate (secretions from wound) to drain into a secondary dressing, thereby providing optimal moisture levels at the wound bed. Additionally, the wound care dressing allows for the gas exchange, which plays an important role in the healing process.

Membracel is suitable for injury treatments resulting from the loss of epithelium that are characterized as superficial or deep wounds with little or abundant exudation, such as:

– Second-degree burns

– Excoriation

– Pressure Injuries

– Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU)

– Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU)

– Surgical wounds

– Lesions caused by epidermolysis bullosa (EB)

– Skin Tears

– Acute Wounds

– Chronic Wounds

– Skin graft (donor and recipient sites)

Membracel should not be used to control bleeding, tunnel lesions, malignant lesions or suspected malignancy.

Benefits of Applying Membracel

How to use the membrance?

For an effective treatment, it is essential to choose the membrane correctly. The following procedures will help ensure that you choose the right Membracel:

Consider the size of the wound to choose the most suitable size, so that Membracel covers the entire exposed injured area and exceeds by at least 1/3 in. (1 cm) its edges.

Clean the lesion with saline solution (SSI 0.9%) in a jet or other specific solution.

Open and remove the product from the envelope with the aid of sterile materials (gloves and tweezers).

With the aid of tweezers and sterile gauze, position the membrane over the lesioned area.

With the use of sterile tweezers and sterile gauze, perfectly settle the product over the injured area, gently pressing the gauze on the membrane. Wait 3 to 4 minutes for the membrane’s self-adherence to the lesion and peripheral region.
It is recommended to place a protection to avoid contamination and the membrane detachment (mainly during bath).

For the gauze fixation use bands, compression bandages and microporous tape. Replace the secondary dressing whenever saturated with exudate or has lost absorption capacity.

Available Sizes

The correct choice of Membracel is crucial for the success in the treatment of lesions. To do this, adopt the following procedures:

CHOICE OF SIZE:

Take the size of the wound into consideration to choose the ideal size of the membrane, which should cover the entire exposed area of the lesion, exceeding its edges in at least 1 cm.

HOW CAN I SELECT THE RIGHT MEMBRACEL?

For an effective treatment, it is essential to choose the membrane correctly. The following procedures will help ensure that you choose the right Membracel:

Choice of size: t is important to consider the size of the wound to choose the most suitable size, so that Membracel covers the entire exposed injury area exceeding by at least 1 cm (1/3 in) beyond its edges.

The following shapes and sizes are available:
Circular membranes: 5 cm, and 8 cm
Rectangular membranes: 5 x 7.5 cm | 7.5 x 10 cm | 10 x 15 cm |15 x 20 cm

Selecting the correct pore size:
Consider either the type of wound, characteristics, and volume of existing exudate of the wound to choose the ideal pore size: medium (1 to 2mm) – indicated for low and / or moderate exudation; large (2 to 3mm) – indicated in cases of abundant and / or thick exudation.

HOW LONG CAN MEMBRACEL REMAIN ON THE WOUND?

The Membracel is a long-term dressing and can remain at the injury site for between 5 and 12 days. However, the period of time for which membranes will remain in place varies according to the characteristics of the wound and recommendations from the health care professional monitoring treatment. The porous membrane may be maintained for up to 12 days, provided there is no detachment, rupture, signs of infection, acute pain, fetid odor, or bad smell.
Membracel also offers an excellent cost-benefit ratio, since the membrane requires less frequent changing, reducing the overall cost of treatment.

HOW WAS MEMBRACEL DEVELOPED?

Membracel was developed as part of the treatment received by its inventor João Carlos Moreschi’s mother, who had been suffering from leg ulcers (VLU) for several years. Unhappy with the lack of effective results from conventional treatments, he decided to find his own solution.

João Carlos, a newly retired university Professor with scientific and technological knowledge in microbiology and cellulose, decided to apply this experience to developing something more effective and innovative.

After carrying out intensive studies and research, he was able to develop a new product that relieved pain and speeds up the healing process: a cellulose membrane known as Membracel.
