Membrane Performance
HydraTek® BioAware® Technology is designed to protect the biomechanical structure of the membrane tissue matrix versus other membranes which may be cross-linked or collapsed due to their inferior processing methods. This produces membrane products that provide an immediate covering at the site and adhere like no other.
BioAware® Membrane Preservation System
HydraTek® has designed the unique BioAware® preservation system to optimize the structural tissue integrity, handling and performance of its membrane-based allografts. This system scientifically controls the moisture levels in both dehydrated and non-dehydrated membrane products, and carefully preserves the natural tissue structure without compromising it through traditional lyophilization (freeze drying), heat-baking, chemical cross-linking or other disadvantageous methods.
The result is a lineup of membrane products that maintain ideal structure and integrity when used dry or hydrated. These products are omni-directional, meaning they can be applied up or down, without orientation issues. The dehydrated membranes adhere extremely well naturally, but are also strong enough to allow for suture fixation as needed. In addition, a non-dehydrated option is available, with load-bearing strength and added thickness for additional support.
Immunoprivileged
Placental tissues have been used medically for decades and one reason they are an excellent transplant is they are an immunoprivileged tissue type. They have been shown to not cause a host rejection.
