Cutimed® Epiona®

Boosts healing in chronic and stagnating wounds

Cutimed® Epiona provides a native collagen network structure that is highly identical to human collagen to create ideal healing conditions for stalled and chronic wounds. It preserves the structural integrity of the human dermis and provides an effective scaffold to help rebuild tissue.

• Natural collagen structure

• Unique 3D Matrix™ Technology acts as a scaffold to support the regeneration of human dermis that is absent from stalled, chronic wounds

• Reduces enzymatic degradation from inflammatory cells by binding MMPs

• Delivers structural support for attachment and proliferation of vital cells needed for wound repair
