Membracel Regenerative Porous Membrane
Listed FDA: 3006611176
Membracel is a special wound care dressing that acts as a temporary replacement of the skin accelerating the healing process.
The membrane’s pores allow excess exudate (secretions from wound) to drain into a secondary dressing, thereby providing optimal moisture levels at the wound bed. Additionally, the wound care dressing allows for the gas exchange, which plays an important role in the healing process.
Membracel is suitable for injury treatments resulting from the loss of epithelium that are characterized as superficial or deep wounds with little or abundant exudation, such as:
– Second-degree burns
– Excoriation
– Pressure Injuries
– Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU)
– Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU)
– Surgical wounds
– Lesions caused by epidermolysis bullosa (EB)
– Skin Tears
– Acute Wounds
– Chronic Wounds
– Skin graft (donor and recipient sites)
Membracel should not be used to control bleeding, tunnel lesions, malignant lesions or suspected malignancy.
Benefits of Applying Membracel
- Accelerates the healing process: Membracel is able to promote the development of granulation tissue which is an essential stage in the healing process.
- Relieves pain: The membrane reduces the wound’s exposed area by up to 95%, isolating nerve endings and relieving pain immediately upon being applied.
- Daily change of Membracel is not required: Membracel is a wound care dressing designed for long-term use, it does not need to be changed frequently. In addition to contributing to patients’ health and well-being, less frequent changing of the dressing helps prevent trauma to newly formed tissue while maintaining the integrity of the granulation tissue.
- Wound protection: Membracel acts as a physical barrier, significantly reducing the wound’s unprotected area and preventing contamination from external agents.
- No adverse reactions: Membracel is a non-toxic and inert product that does not cause allergic reactions when coming into contact with the skin.
- Contains pores: The membrane’s pores allow excess exudate (secretions from wound) to drain into a secondary dressing, thereby maintaining optimal moisture levels at the wound. Additionally, the pores allow for the gas exchange, which is a key aspect of the healing process.
How to use the membrance?
For an effective treatment, it is essential to choose the membrane correctly. The following procedures will help ensure that you choose the right Membracel:
Consider the size of the wound to choose the most suitable size, so that Membracel covers the entire exposed injured area and exceeds by at least 1/3 in. (1 cm) its edges.
Clean the lesion with saline solution (SSI 0.9%) in a jet or other specific solution.
Open and remove the product from the envelope with the aid of sterile materials (gloves and tweezers).
With the aid of tweezers and sterile gauze, position the membrane over the lesioned area.
For the gauze fixation use bands, compression bandages and microporous tape. Replace the secondary dressing whenever saturated with exudate or has lost absorption capacity.

Clean the application area
Clean the lesion with saline solution (SSI 0.9%) in a jet or other specific solution.
Open the inner envelope
Open and remove the product from the envelope with the aid of sterile materials (gloves and tweezers).
Place the membrane on the wound
With the aid of tweezers and sterile gauze, position the membrane over the lesioned area.
Maintain the membrane in constant contact with the surface of the lesion
With the use of sterile tweezers and sterile gauze, perfectly settle the product over the injured area, gently pressing the gauze on the membrane. Wait 3 to 4 minutes for the membrane’s self-adherence to the lesion and peripheral region.
Place a protection on the membrane
It is recommended to place a protection to avoid contamination and the membrane detachment (mainly during bath).
Bandage the area
For the gauze fixation use bands, compression bandages and microporous tape. Replace the secondary dressing whenever saturated with exudate or has lost absorption capacity.
Available Sizes
The correct choice of Membracel is crucial for the success in the treatment of lesions. To do this, adopt the following procedures:
CHOICE OF SIZE:
Take the size of the wound into consideration to choose the ideal size of the membrane, which should cover the entire exposed area of the lesion, exceeding its edges in at least 1 cm.
HOW CAN I SELECT THE RIGHT MEMBRACEL?
For an effective treatment, it is essential to choose the membrane correctly. The following procedures will help ensure that you choose the right Membracel:
• Choice of size: t is important to consider the size of the wound to choose the most suitable size, so that Membracel covers the entire exposed injury area exceeding by at least 1 cm (1/3 in) beyond its edges.
• The following shapes and sizes are available:
Circular membranes: 5 cm, and 8 cm
Rectangular membranes: 5 x 7.5 cm | 7.5 x 10 cm | 10 x 15 cm |15 x 20 cm
• Selecting the correct pore size:
Consider either the type of wound, characteristics, and volume of existing exudate of the wound to choose the ideal pore size: medium (1 to 2mm) – indicated for low and / or moderate exudation; large (2 to 3mm) – indicated in cases of abundant and / or thick exudation.
HOW LONG CAN MEMBRACEL REMAIN ON THE WOUND?
The Membracel is a long-term dressing and can remain at the injury site for between 5 and 12 days. However, the period of time for which membranes will remain in place varies according to the characteristics of the wound and recommendations from the health care professional monitoring treatment. The porous membrane may be maintained for up to 12 days, provided there is no detachment, rupture, signs of infection, acute pain, fetid odor, or bad smell.
Membracel also offers an excellent cost-benefit ratio, since the membrane requires less frequent changing, reducing the overall cost of treatment.
After a breast surgery, some stitches opened, forming a skin lesion. For 15 days I´ve tried to treat the wound, but with no success. Then I started the Membracel´s treatment, and in 5 days the injury was completely healed. Membracel is amazing!
I would like to thank Vuelo Pharma´s team for their help and support. I also want to congratulate you for the excellent product. My father had a bed sore on his back. I started Membracel´s treatment and, in just 4 months, he was healed. The result was awasome!
I would like to say thank you! I had an otoplasty and there was a complication: an ulcer appeared. After two months of suffering and with no results, I found out Membracel. In two weeks of treatment, the wound is almost healed. Membracel has given me back my hope!
In February 2020, my father was admitted to the hospital in severe pain. Shortly afterwards, we discovered that it was Fournier's Syndrome, a bacteria that causes necrosis in the skin and soft parts of the body. After treating the bacteria, it was necessary to continue the treatment at home. Then, I met the miracle called Membracel. Today my father is completely healed. It was very emotional when my father was able to shower alone again, getting wet all over, since there were no longer any open wounds. It was the best birthday gift my dad could get.
My mother, who is 94 years old, had a wound caused by varicose veins. The doctor recommended a skin graft, but for financial reasons, we couldn't do it. Fortunately, we heard about Membracel! We just want to thank God and you, who helped us. In 3 months of treatment, my mother was completely healed. Membracel's is excelente e it has a great value.
I´m so impressed with the excellent results that Membracel has brought me! I am a nurse and I work with wound care. One of my patients got second-degree burns. I applied Membracel and in just two changes of the membrane the tissue was completely epithelialized. The patient also reported a decrease in pain as soon the treatment was started. I have been treating a lot of patients with Membracel, all of them (with no exceptions) with results beyond expectations. Even though I know the quality of the product, I keep surprising myself. Thank you, Vuelo Pharma, for this amazing product!
I had a tummy tuck and the stitches opened. I´ve tried several treatments until I found Membracel. The results could be noticed at the first week. I want to thank you for this wonderful membrane, which helped me heal so quickly and effectively.
HOW WAS MEMBRACEL DEVELOPED?
Membracel was developed as part of the treatment received by its inventor João Carlos Moreschi’s mother, who had been suffering from leg ulcers (VLU) for several years. Unhappy with the lack of effective results from conventional treatments, he decided to find his own solution.
João Carlos, a newly retired university Professor with scientific and technological knowledge in microbiology and cellulose, decided to apply this experience to developing something more effective and innovative.
After carrying out intensive studies and research, he was able to develop a new product that relieved pain and speeds up the healing process: a cellulose membrane known as Membracel.
