Epicord
Epicord is a dehydrated human umbilical cord allograft comprised of an extracellular matrix of hyaluronic acid and collagen.
MIMEDX
MIMEDX is an industry leader in utilizing amniotic tissue as a platform for regenerative medicine, developing and distributing placental tissue allografts with patent-protected, proprietary processes for multiple sectors of health care. As a pioneer in placental biologics, we have both a base business, focused on addressing the needs of patients with acute and chronic non-healing wounds, and a promising late-stage pipeline targeted at decreasing pain and improving function for patients with degenerative musculoskeletal conditions. We derive our products from human placental tissues and process these tissues using our proprietary methods, including the Purion® process. We employ Current Good Tissue Practices, Current Good Manufacturing Practices, and terminal sterilization to produce our allografts. Mimedx has supplied over 2 million allografts, through both direct and consignment shipments.

Epicord is intended to provide a protective environment for the healing process.
Epicord allografts should not be used on (1) areas with active or latent infection and/or (2) a patient with a disorder that would create an unacceptable risk of post-operative complications.
Room temperature storage
In its dry state and prior to hydration, the allograft may be cut with sharp scissors to the appropriate and approximate size required. The allograft should then be placed on the site. The allograft can then be hydrated while on the site with sterile saline solution, if desired.
