Healing Traumatic Injuries is Urgent
BioTissue is the answer
Clarix® in Trauma
Traumatic injuries are challenging and expediting soft tissue healing is critical. Clarix 1K cryopreserved ultra-thick human birth tissue allografts can be used as an adjunct to help address soft tissue closure due to Trauma-related complications. Clarix has been shown to:
- Manage inflammation1-4
- Manage adhesion formation1-4
- Expedite closure of the soft tissue envelope1-4

Motor Vehicle Accident Polytrauma Patient
39-year-old male (smoker) involved in motor vehicle accident. Polytrauma patient presented with broken femur, tibia, and fibula with large posterior knee wound (11x9x4cm).

Split Thickness Skin Graft vs. Human Birth Tissue Application
Split-thickness Skin Grafting (STSG) is a classic example where complete, functional healing can be challenging.
The forearm case on the right shows a comparison between a BioTissue human birth tissue application on the volar side (FIG. 1A) vs. a dorsal split thickness graft (FIG. 2A). Both the STSG, and birth tissue allograft wound sites, achieved closure within 2.5-months post-op. However, the medial side of the arm, where the allograft was utilized, showed a return of hair growth and normal sensation, without significant contracture (FIG. 1B), whereas the area covered by the STSG did not (FIG. 2B).

Achieved healing in 15-Weeks.
Birth Tissue Application in Lower Extremity Fracture
- 54-year-old male who fell off a ladder at 12-14 feet and suffered a left grade 3A open pilon fracture.
- Patient underwent 2 previous debridements, ex-fix, followed by ORIF for definitive stabilization.
- At 6 weeks, the anterior medial side had 3×2.5cm full thickness tissue necrosis. After debridement, 8x3cm UC was placed deep in the tunneling wound with exposed bone and over the wounds with adjunctive VAC for 3 days.
- Wound had progressive healing and completely closed by 4 months.

Dr. Stewart shares how human birth tissue has revolutionized his traumatic patient care.
Dr. Stewart shares his findings after performing an economic evaluation comparing the average cost savings per patient and additional costs incurred from time off work over a 5-year period in the birth tissue patient cohort vs. the control (Presented at the 2022 AOFAS Annual Meeting).
