Bob's Story: I am both a donor and a recipient of the tissue donor system. Eleven years ago, when the pain in my hip from Legg Perthes disease had overwhelmed my everyday life, I received a hip replacement. At that time I donated the top of my femur to the local bone bank. The pain was gone and I was able to resume my fast-paced and active lifestyle. Fast forward ten years and I needed surgery again, this time to repair a failed ACL repair. I required a two-stage knee rebui...ld that first involved a bone graft using donated bone and after that healed, an allograft to replace the ACL. My knee is stable again and I am back to full speed in my active life. This could not have happened without generous people making the tough but crucial decision to donate tissue to help someone else. I will never know the individuals who donated the tissue that gave me back my mobility but I often stop to think of them with deep gratitude as walk, work and play in my busy life.

Acellular Dermal Matrix is decellularized human skin that provides a natural scaffold for wound healing, allowing the patient’s own cells to replace the Acellular Dermal Matrix and promote natural skin growth and rebuilding. During early studies, DermGEN has proven enormously effective in healing diabetic foot ulcers that would not heal utilizing the current standard of care in Canada. Dr. Idevania Costa RN, NSWOC (S) PhD, a leading researcher in the management of chronic ...wounds, states, I know first-hand how devastating it is to patients, families and healthcare providers to see prolonged healing process ending up in infection and limb amputation. People with diabetic foot ulcer constantly face the fear of losing a limb, because it is a complex wound that takes time to heal. DermGEN is an innovative Canadian product that has the potential to accelerate healing. I am very excited about this Canadian technology coming to the field of wound care because this represents an advancement in wound care management. See more
