The power of placental membranes
Human placental tissue features a collagen-rich matrix, growth factors, cytokines and live endogenous cells (including mesenchymal stem cells).5
Human placental membrane components
Extracellular matrix (ECM):
- Collagen
- Elastin
- Fibronectin
- Laminin
Growth factors and other mediators:*
- EGF
- bFGF
- KGF
- PDGF
- VEGF
- TGF-beta 1 and -beta 3
- HGF
- TIMP/MMP
- NGAL
Living cells:
- Epithelial cells†
- Fibroblasts
- Mesenchymal stem cells

Many placental membrane products. Only one GRAFIX PL Lyopreserved Placental Membrane.
Most human tissue products feature only growth factors and an extracellular matrix. GRAFIX PL and GRAFIX◊ Cryopreserved Placental Membranes retain all three native components of human tissue, including mesenchymal stem cells.1
