AxoGen, a company based in Alachua, Florida, is releasing its new Avive soft tissue membrane device. The Avive is made out of amnionic membrane harvested from the human umbilical cord. It is intended for use during nerve surgeries to separate certain tissues while reducing nearby inflammation and scar formation. It’s competing against amniotic sac membranes which are considerably thinner and may be not as effective.
The implant is slowly resorbed by the body and eventually completely disappears, allowing the body to restructure the anatomy safely in that time.
The Avive has already been used in an initial introduction at The Buncke Clinic in a surgery restoring a crushed forearm.
