ABOUT AVITA Medical, Inc.AVITA Medical, Inc. is
a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform
positioned to address unmet medical needs in burns, chronic wounds,
and aesthetics indications. AVITA Medical Inc. patented and
proprietary collection and application technology provides
innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative
properties of a patient’s own skin. The medical devices work by
preparing a RES® REGENERATIVE EPIDERMAL SUSPENSION, an autologous
suspension comprised of the patient’s skin cells necessary to
regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is
then sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.
AVITA Medicals’ first U.S. product, the RECELL® System, was
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in
September 2018. The RECELL® System is approved for acute
partial-thickness thermal burn wounds in patients 18 years of age
and older or application in combination with meshed autografting
for acute full-thickness thermal burn wounds in pediatric and adult
patients. The RECELL® System is used to prepare Spray-On Skin™
Cells using a small amount of a patient’s own skin, providing a new
way to treat severe burns, while significantly reducing the amount
of donor skin required. The RECELL® System is designed to be used
at the point of care alone or in combination with autografts
depending on the depth of the burn injury. Compelling data from
randomized, controlled clinical trials conducted at major U.S. burn
centers and real-world use in more than 8,000 patients globally,
reinforce that the RECELL® System is a significant advancement over
the current standard of care for burn patients and offers benefits
in clinical outcomes and cost savings. Healthcare professionals
should read the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - RECELL® Autologous Cell
Harvesting Device (https://recellsystem.com/) for a full
description of indications for use and important safety information
including contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
In international markets, our products are marketed under the
RECELL® System brand to promote skin healing in a wide range of
applications including burns, chronic wounds, and aesthetics. The
RECELL® System is TGA-registered in Australia and received CE-mark
approval in Europe.To learn more, visit www.avitamedical.com.
