Benefits Beyond Closure®

Expedite healing at the cellular level

RECELL uses a small piece of the patient’s skin to create a multi-phenotype suspension of Spray-On Skin Cells.1 The application of different cell types stimulates healing and repigmentation throughout the wound bed.2,3

TREATING MORE with Less

Caring for your patients means more than closing the wound. With RECELL, you can expedite the healing process with early point-of-care treatment of thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects to provide the best possible outcomes for patients. RECELL is designed for donor sparing, significantly less donor skin is required with similar healing outcomes versus conventional autografting.

fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is RECELL?

RECELL® is an autologous cell harvesting device used at the point-of-care that processes a small piece of a patient’s own skin to prepare a multi-phenotype suspension of Spray-On Skin™ Cells to treat wounds and support skin regeneration.1-2 The application of different cell types stimulates healing and repigmentation throughout the wound bed.3-4  RECELL can be used for the following types of wounds:

In conjunction with split-thickness skin graft for the treatment of full-thickness:

  • Thermal burns
  • Traumatic avulsions (e.g. degloving, abrasion)
  • Surgical excisions (e.g. fasciotomy, necrotizing infection)
  • Surgical resections (e.g. skin cancer removal)

Alone for the treatment of:

  • Deep partial-thickness burns

What are RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells?

RECELL® Spray-On Skin™ Cells are a multi-phenotype cell suspension derived from a patient’s own skin and contain keratinocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and melanocytes to promote healing and repigmentation throughout the wound bed.1-4 Designed for donor sparing, the use of RECELL requires significantly less donor skin than conventional autografting.5

How do RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells contribute to the healing process?

RECELL® Spray-On Skin™ Cells provide fast healing at the cellular level.1 Activated keratinocytes that harness the ‘free-edge’ signal, driving rapid migration and re-epithelialization across the entire wound bed for optimal healing.1

In addition to keratinocytes, RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells contain dermal fibroblasts to deposit extra cellular matrix proteins, and melanocytes to produce melanin and allow restoration of natural pigmentation.2,3

What is RECELL GO and what are its benefits?

RECELL GO® is the next generation, FDA-approved RECELL® System that streamlines preparation of Spray-On Skin™ Cells. It helps reduce medical staff training burden, improve operating room workflow efficiencies, and standardize skin processing to ensure optimal suspension preparation.1

  1. Bush KA et al. Int Wound J. 2024 Jun;21(6):e14941.

 

Is RECELL a skin graft?

RECELL® is a regenerative technology and not a skin graft, although its Spray-On Skin™ Cells suspension can be used in a similar manner to a skin graft and offer reduced pain and improved aesthetic outcomes at the RECELL-harvested donor site. 1

How does RECELL work?

The RECELL® System works by following three steps to prepare RECELL Spray-On Skin™ Cells for wound treatment.

  1. Obtain: The healthcare provider harvests a small, thin skin sample. 1 cm2 of harvested donor skin treats up to 80 cm.1
  2. Prepare: Patient-derived cells are isolated using RECELL technology.1
  3. Deliver: RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells are delivered to the wound site to promote epidermal regeneration.1
  1. Instructions for Use. RECELL® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device.

 
Does RECELL reduce the amount of donor skin needed?

The use of RECELL® enables significant donor skin reduction compared to conventional autografting.1 With the RECELL System, 1 cm2 of donor skin can be used to prepare enough Spray-On Skin™ Cells to treat a wound of up to 80 cm2.

  1. Instructions for Use. RECELL® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device.

 

Are RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells only for burn wounds?

RECELL® Spray-On Skin™ Cells can be used for a variety of wounds and skin restoration, including:

  • Thermal burn wounds: Deep-partial thickness and full-thickness with meshed autograft
  • Non-thermal full-thickness wounds with meshed autograft such as traumatic wounds and surgical wounds

 

Can RECELL be used to treat chronic wounds?

RECELL® can be used to treat complex, difficult-to-heal wounds that have been excised and are ready to graft.

 

Can RECELL be used for reconstructive plastic surgery wounds?

Yes, RECELL® Spray-On Skin™ Cells can be used on reconstructive plastic surgery wounds. RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells provide the advantage of point-of-care regenerative therapy for wounds, including full-thickness defects and thermal burns, in a single procedure.

 

How much donor skin does RECELL need?

RECELL® is designed for donor sparing, taking up to 97.5% less donor skin compared to conventional autografting and uses a 1:80 expansion ratio.1 As an example, a 1cm2 donor site can treat an area up to 80x its size.

Important Safety Information (UNITED STATES)

Indications for use:

The RECELL Autologous Cell Harvesting Device, RECELL GO Autologous Cell Harvesting Device, and RECELL GO mini Autologous Cell Harvesting Device are indicated for the treatment of thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects. The RECELL Device, RECELL GO Device, and RECELL GO mini Device is used by an appropriately licensed and trained healthcare professional at the patient’s point of care to prepare autologous Spray-On Skin Cells for direct application to 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 and full-thickness skin defects after traumatic avulsion (e.g., degloving) or surgical excision (e.g., necrotizing soft tissue infection) or resection (e.g., skin cancer) in patients 15 years of age and older.

Contraindications:

RECELL, RECELL GO, and RECELL GO mini are contraindicated for the treatment of: wounds clinically diagnosed as infected or with necrotic tissue present in the wound bed, patients with a known hypersensitivity to trypsin or compound sodium lactate (Hartmann’s) solution, and patients with a known hypersensitivity to anesthetics, adrenaline/epinephrine, povidone-iodine, or chlorhexidine solutions.

WARNINGS:

Autologous use only. Control infections and excise all necrotic tissue on the wound bed prior to application of the meshed autograft and/or Spray-On Skin Cells. Wound beds treated with a cytotoxic agent (e.g., silver sulfadiazine) should be rinsed prior to application. Choose a donor site with no evidence of cellulitis or infection and process skin immediately. The enzyme is animal-derived and freedom from infectious agents cannot be guaranteed.

PRECAUTIONS:

RECELL, RECELL GO, and RECELL GO mini are not intended for use without a meshed autograft for the treatment of acute full-thickness burn wounds or full-thickness skin defects. The safety and effectiveness of the device have not been established for the treatment of: full-thickness skin defects on the hands and genitalia; full-thickness burn wounds in patients younger than 28 days of age; and partial-thickness burn wounds >320 cm2, on the hands and articulating joints, or in patients with wounds totaling >20% TBSA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
