BARDA is seeking safe and effective medical products that can be used to treat a wide range of types of burn injuries, resulting from any cause, and importantly from any mass-casualty incident. Grafix is currently used at burn centers across the country to treat thermal burns of differing thicknesses in both pediatric and adult patients. To most effectively address the government's needs in mass casualty situations, Osiris' research-based proposal to BARDA will focus on additional clinical development and large scale manufacturing.
About BARDA
About Grafix
Grafix is a three-dimensional cellular matrix designed for application directly to acute and chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and burns. Flexible, conforming and immune neutral, this cellular repair matrix provides a rich source of viable mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors directly to the site of the wound, while the matrix protects the area from inflammation, scarring, and infection. Grafix is manufactured using a unique proprietary process that preserves the matrix, cells and growth factors needed for successful healing.
