advanced wound caremedical
"Further Expands Company’s Broad Portfolio of Advanced Wound Care (“AWC”) Products"
Specialized products and treatments used to heal hard-to-close or long-lasting wounds, such as advanced dressings, engineered tissue patches and devices that control infection and support tissue repair. For investors, advanced wound care matters because it is a higher-value, fast-evolving segment where clinical results, regulatory clearance and insurance reimbursement drive sales, margins and recurring revenue—similar to a specialized toolkit that can replace basic care and reduce overall healthcare costs.
placental allograftsmedical
"latest advanced wound care innovation in its product portfolio of placental allografts"
Human placental allografts are biological products made from donated placenta tissue that has been processed for use in medical treatments, typically to promote wound healing and tissue repair. Think of them as natural, sterile bandages or scaffolds that help the body rebuild damaged tissue; investors watch them because clinical results, regulatory approvals, manufacturing scale, and reimbursement decisions directly affect the commercial potential and risk profile of companies developing and selling these therapies.
randomized controlled trialmedical
"CAMPAIGN trial, a prospective randomized controlled trial (“RCT”) designed to evaluate"
A randomized controlled trial is a research method that tests the effects of a new idea or treatment by randomly dividing participants into two groups: one that receives the treatment and one that does not. This approach helps ensure that the results are fair and unbiased, providing clear evidence about whether the treatment actually works. Investors value such trials because they offer reliable information that can influence decision-making and reduce uncertainty.
standard of caremedical
"evaluate the performance of EPIEFFECT and now CHORIOFIX against standard of care (“SOC”)"
Standard of care is the accepted medical treatment or clinical approach that most qualified doctors would use for a given condition today, based on available evidence, guidelines and common practice. For investors, it acts like the baseline product customers expect: a new therapy or device must match or improve on the standard of care to win market share, gain reimbursement and limit legal or regulatory risk.
diabetic foot ulcersmedical
"in the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (“DFUs”)"
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound on the foot that occurs when high blood sugar and nerve damage prevent normal healing, much like a small pothole that keeps widening because the road can’t be properly repaired. It matters to investors because these wounds drive demand for treatments, medical devices, wound-care drugs and hospital services, and they carry risks of infection and amputation that can shape healthcare costs, reimbursement decisions and clinical trial opportunities.
lyophilizedmedical
"CHORIOFIX is a lyophilized human placental allograft"
Lyophilized means a drug, vaccine, or biological product has been freeze-dried: water is removed by freezing the item and then turning the ice into vapor to leave a dry, stable powder. For investors, lyophilization matters because it improves shelf life, eases shipping and storage without refrigeration, and can affect manufacturing cost, regulatory approval paths, and commercial reach—much like how freeze-dried coffee or fruit lasts longer and travels better than fresh.
allograftmedical
"CHORIOFIX is a lyophilized human placental allograft that includes two layers"
Tissue taken from one person and transplanted into another to repair or replace damaged body parts, such as bone, skin, or heart valves. For investors, allografts matter because their use involves manufacturing standards, supply and safety controls, regulatory approvals, and reimbursement rules that can affect sales, liability and growth for companies that process, store or sell these biological materials — similar to how sourcing and quality control of key parts affect a manufacturer’s business.
Further Expands Company’s Broad Portfolio of Advanced Wound Care (“AWC”) Products
MARIETTA, Ga., March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the “Company”) today announced the commercial launch of CHORIOFIX™, the latest advanced wound care innovation in its product portfolio of placental allografts.
“CHORIOFIX is an organically developed product, created based on our deep understanding of the scientific and clinical attributes of the chorion layer,” stated Michelle Massee, MIMEDX VP, Research & Development. “It consists of two chorion layers with an intact intermediate layer, making it our thickest product to date. The allograft’s structure enhances handling, particularly during positioning and suturing, while its uniform, dual-sided chorion configuration eliminates the need for orientation during application.”
“I have used several MIMEDX products for complex lower extremity wound care in the hospital setting,” added Andrew Horine, DO, Family Medicine Physician at Carroll County Memorial Hospital. “In an early access evaluation of CHORIOFIX, I was impressed with the product’s handling characteristics and the effective wound closure observed anecdotally in my patients. The naturally thicker composition is well-suited for use in large deficits and deep, tunneling wounds, which represent some of the most difficult wound types to treat effectively.”
Continuing its commitment to generate best-in-class scientific and clinical data, the Company has also added CHORIOFIX to its CAMPAIGN trial, a prospective randomized controlled trial (“RCT”) designed to evaluate the performance of EPIEFFECT and now CHORIOFIX against standard of care (“SOC”) in the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (“DFUs”).
CHORIOFIX is a lyophilized human placental allograft that includes two layers of chorion with attached intermediate layer. CHORIOFIX is intended for use as a barrier to provide a protective environment in acute and chronic wounds.
About MIMEDX MIMEDX is a pioneer and leader focused on helping humans heal.
