Cohealyx®
Product Overview
Cohealyx is a resorbable collagen dermal matrix engineered to prepare complex wounds that require dermal regeneration for definitive closure (ie., skin grafting) as early as Day 5. Its porous architecture provides a scaffold that supports cellular infiltration, formation of new vascularized tissue, and preparation of the wound bed for skin grafting.

Why Cohealyx?
Cohealyx is designed to prepare a healthy, vascularized wound bed for definitive closure. In clinical studies, wounds were ready for grafting as early as Day 5 (median Day 11).* Cohealyx also delivers predictable wound bed preparation; 97% autograft take compared to 85% and 68% seen with leading competitors^, 4x less wound contraction compared to leading competitors^, and 0% infection rate^.

In a single-arm prospective study, Cohealyx supported graft readiness for definitive wound closure as soon as Day 5 (11 median). Timing for your practice should be based on clinical assessment of the wound. Once the wound demonstrates healthy vascularization and is judged ready by the treating surgeon, definitive closure with a split-thickness skin graft, with or without RECELL, may be performed.

Successful reconstruction depends on establishing a healthy, vascularized wound bed. A vascularized wound bed supplies oxygen and nutrients that support tissue regeneration and successful skin graft take. Delays in vascularization may prolong the reconstructive process, whereas establishing a healthy vascular network helps move patients toward definitive closure and supports skin graft take.

Longer time to skin grafting has been associated with longer hospital stays, a higher likelihood of graft-related complications, including infection and graft failure, and increased mortality rates. Cohealyx is designed to support the development of a healthy, vascularized wound bed, helping surgeons progress patients toward definitive closure when clinically appropriate.

Definitive closure should occur when the wound is clinically ready. Prolonged open wounds increase treatment costs and may increase the risk of complications such as infection, fluid loss, repeated procedures, delayed rehabilitation, and hypertrophic scarring. Preparing a healthy wound bed is an important step toward achieving durable closure and optimal long-term outcomes.

How It Works
After application to a properly prepared wound bed, Cohealyx acts as a temporary three-dimensional scaffold. Host cells migrate into the matrix while new blood vessels develop throughout the collagen architecture. As healing progresses, the collagen matrix is gradually remodeled and replaced with the patient’s own tissue, creating a vascularized wound bed that can support definitive closure in as few as 5 days.

Cohealyx is composed of highly purified young bovine Type I and Type III collagen. These collagen types closely resemble those found in healthy human dermis and are engineered into a porous matrix that supports tissue regeneration.
References
- Bush KA, et al. Cureus. 2025;17(3):e81517.
Cohealyx is derived from bovine dermis, which contains both Type I and Type III collagen. Type I collagen provides much of the structural strength found in healthy dermal tissue, while Type III collagen is more prevalent during the early phases of wound healing and tissue regeneration. By incorporating both collagen types, Cohealyx is designed to provide a scaffold that more closely resembles the composition of native dermis and supports the body’s natural healing process.

- Bush KA, et al. Cureus. 2025;17(3):e81517.
Collagen type III is the first collagen produced in the wound bed during healing. It provides cues for cells to produce the other types of collagens required for optimized healing. Many studies have investigated the correlation between the severity of scarring and the amount and type of collagen present in a wound. In a particular animal model, genetically modified mice that cannot produce collagen type III lead to severe scarring outcomes, further highlighting the important role for collagen type III in wound healing.

Cohealyx is manufactured using TetraPure™ Technology, a proprietary purification process designed to preserve the natural collagen architecture while removing unwanted cellular components and impurities. The result is a sterile collagen matrix with a highly interconnected pore structure that supports tissue ingrowth.
The pore structure of a dermal matrix influences how cells, nutrients, and new blood vessels move throughout the scaffold. A highly interconnected porous architecture allows host cells to infiltrate the matrix more efficiently while supporting neovascularization. This process is essential for creating a healthy, vascularized wound bed capable of supporting definitive closure.

- Woodroof A, et al. Eplasty. 2015;15:e30.
PermeaDerm functions as a temporary epidermal substitute. Its dual-layer design helps maintain moisture balance, manage exudate, and protect the wound while allowing clinicians to continuously assess the wound bed. The transparent silicone outer layer contains stretchable fenestrations that facilitate controlled movement of gases and exudate. The inner nylon matrix is coated with porcine gelatin and aloe vera to promote adherence and maintain intimate contact with the wound surface.
PermeaDerm’s stretchable fenestrations allow clinicians to control moisture management during application. In their resting state, the fenestrations remain essentially closed to minimize wound desiccation. Gentle stretching opens the fenestrations, allowing excess exudate to pass into the secondary dressing while maintaining a moist wound environment.
PermeaDerm is indicated for partial-thickness burn wounds and other partial-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers (sores), venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-Mohs, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second- degree burns, and skin tears) and draining wounds, donor sites and coverage of meshed autograft.

Clinical Value
Temporary wound coverage is intended to protect the wound until autografting is indicated. PermeaDerm combines temporary wound protection with continuous wound visualization, allowing clinicians to monitor wound color, vascularity, adherence, and fluid accumulation.
Compared with cadaveric allograft, PermeaDerm offers several practical advantages:
- Ready-to-use and available in standardized sizes
- Transparent for continuous wound visualization
- Room-temperature storage with no tissue tracking requirements
- Lower product costs in an ongoing randomized controlled trial
Published clinical experience also supports PermeaDerm as an effective option for temporary wound coverage prior to definitive closure.

Application
- Prepare a clean, well-debrided wound bed with meticulous hemostasis.
- Place the bio-coated nylon surface against the wound and gently stretch to remove wrinkles and slightly open the fenestrations.
- Secure with staples, sutures, adhesive strips, or fibrin sealant according to clinician preference.
PermeaDerm should be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing based on the wound and clinical application. Commonly used secondary dressings include a non-adherent contact layer (when indicated), bulky gauze or an absorbent dressing, and a compression wrap to help maintain intimate contact with the wound bed. Outer dressings should be changed as clinically indicated while leaving the PermeaDerm dressing undisturbed whenever possible.
Immediately after application, PermeaDerm should be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing to protect the wound and maintain adherence. Once the dressing has adhered to the wound bed, the bulky outer dressing may no longer be required, depending on the clinical application and physician preference.
PermeaDerm is water resistant after it has adhered to the wound bed. The dressing should not be submerged in water (such as swimming or bathing) unless specifically directed by the treating clinician. Once PermeaDerm has adhered to the wound, patients may generally resume showering, typically after 48–72 hours, or as directed by their healthcare provider. Showering should not interfere with the dressing once adherence has been established.
The length of time PermeaDerm remains in place depends on its clinical use.
- For partial-thickness wounds, PermeaDerm generally remains in place until the wound has re-epithelialized, typically between 7 and 14 days.
- For temporary wound coverage prior to autografting, PermeaDerm is typically left in place until the surgeon determines the wound is ready for definitive closure or earlier if clinical findings indicate further wound management is required. In a recent clinical trial, PermeaDerm wear-time ranged from 3 to 17 days.
References
- ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06750809. Publication in Progress.
PermeaDerm should only be removed when clinically indicated.
- For wounds being temporized before autografting, PermeaDerm should be removed when the surgeon determines the wound is ready for definitive closure or if clinical findings such as infection, non-adherence, or suspicious fluid collections warrant removal.
- For partial-thickness wounds, removal is typically appropriate once the wound has healed and the dressing has become dry and loose. Begin at one corner and gently peel the dressing away from the healed tissue. If resistance, excessive pain, or bleeding occurs, stop the removal and allow additional time for healing before attempting removal again. Petroleum-based ointment or soaking the dressing may facilitate removal when appropriate.
If infection is suspected, manage the wound according to the standard of care. Areas of non-adherence, suspicious fluid collections, or purulent drainage should be promptly evaluated, and PermeaDerm may be removed if clinically indicated.
Small amounts of wound exudate are expected during the early postoperative period. Clinicians should routinely assess the dressing for fluid accumulation. Bubbles, seromas, or hematomas should be managed according to the Instructions for Use, while suspicious or purulent fluid should be promptly evaluated and treated according to the patient’s clinical condition.
Safety
PermeaDerm is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of its components, including porcine-derived gelatin or aloe vera. As with any wound care product, clinicians should review the Instructions for Use before selecting PermeaDerm for patient care.
