NEW CASE STUDIES: SEE HOW NUSHIELD® HELPED TO SUPPORT HEALING

The Nu Solution

NuShield is a protective barrier and ECM scaffold that retains key components

The amnion and chorion are multilayered tissues, with each layer contributing unique characteristics to the tissue as a whole.1 LayerLoc™ is a novel preservation method that not only retains the native amnion and chorion, but also leaves the spongy layer intact, locking in regulatory proteins.2,3

The unique preservation method retains all native layers

In vitro, preserving the amnion layer was demonstrated to retain an abundant source of growth factors/cytokines and ECM.3

Including the chorion layer results in a thicker graft, which may improve handling characteristics4

Composition of the spongy layer in NuShield

In an analytical study, the spongy layer in NuShield contained the following substances, growth factors, and matrix proteins3,4:

  • Hyaluronic acid (HA)
  • Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)
  • Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)
  • Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra)
The clinical activity of these factors has not been demonstrated in NuShield.
