More growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and thickness

NuShield^® contains 42% higher concentrations of growth factors and cytokines¹

Note: ^* indicates significance where P<0.05; ^◊ indicates significance where P<0.01.

A broad evaluation of proteins found that NuShield, compared to another commercially available dHACM, retained statistically significant higher concentrations of many growth factors and cytokines¹

NuShield contains, on average, over 6x more hyaluronic acid¹

Note: ^* indicates significance where P<0.05

In this evaluation, HA levels were significantly higher in NuShield than in another commercially available dHACM, with an average of 3.25 μg/cm² HA in NuShield compared to 0.52 μg/cm² HA in the other commercially available dHACM.¹

NuShield provides more thickness due to the retention of the spongy layer

An evaluation of graft structure and growth factor distribution found that the preservation method used by another commercially available dHACM removes most of the spongy layer, making it, on average, thinner than NuShield.¹
