MiMedx operations have incorporated a placental donation program called the Give the Gift of Healing. It aims to use placental stem cell technology to repair various types of wounds. This donation program encourages new mothers who deliver through Caesarean section to donate their afterbirth to the company for medical uses.
Normally, the placenta is discarded as waste, but this tissue, including the amnion/chorion membranes, is rich in elements that can be used toward advancing wound care. These tissues are used to produce allografts through MiMedx's patented PURION process, which allows healthcare professionals to not only use it for wound care but also in surgical, sports medicine, ophthalmic, and dental sectors.
These gifts are not just a donation to science, but they culminate in actually helping others heal from their injuries. Diabetic foot ulcers, soft tissue injuries, and venous leg ulcers and burns are just a few of the injuries that these donations are used toward.
