This initial market release of HELIOGEN represents another important step in pursuit of this objective.”
Eric Smith, MIMEDX Senior Vice President, Marketing & International, added, “HELIOGEN—named for the product’s triple helical collagen structure—is an exciting addition to our portfolio and provides another tool to help our customers manage complex wounds.
