AROA ECM Technology (Structural and Biological Building Block)

Products

  • Ovine Forestomach has natural characteristics that are desirable in a regenerative soft tissue technology

  • Thick porous ECM with basement membrane

  • Highly vascular

  • Constantly renewing & growing

  • AROA ECM (gently processed Ovine Forestomach Matrix) contains: o Native porous structure o Residual vascular channels

  • 150+ signalling molecules and substrates known to be important in healing

  • Clinically this translates to ready to use scaffold and biology which the body uses to direct healing

  • All products that utilise the AROA ECM provide a short-cut to growing new tissue and an associated blood supply

  • Each product is engineered for the challenges of a specific use case
