Avita Medical

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Avita Medical is a medical device company that specializes in the design and manufacture of regenerative medicine products. The company's primary product is the Recell System, a device used for skin regeneration in burns and other wounds.

History[edit | edit source]

Avita Medical was founded in 2008 in Australia, with the aim of developing innovative, patient-centric treatments for a range of medical conditions. The company's initial focus was on the development of regenerative medicine technologies, which led to the creation of the Recell System.

Recell System[edit | edit source]

The Recell System is a medical device that uses a small sample of the patient's own skin to create a suspension of skin cells. This suspension can then be sprayed onto a wound, where it promotes healing and skin regeneration. The Recell System is primarily used for the treatment of burns, but it can also be used for other types of wounds, such as ulcers and surgical wounds.

The Recell System has been approved for use in several countries, including the United States, Australia, and the European Union. It has been shown to reduce the need for skin grafts in burn patients, and to improve healing times and outcomes in a range of wound types.

Research and Development[edit | edit source]

Avita Medical is committed to ongoing research and development in the field of regenerative medicine. The company is currently involved in several clinical trials investigating the use of the Recell System in new applications, such as the treatment of vitiligo and scar revision.
