RenovaCare’s SkinGun uses a patient’s own stem cells to heal their wounds faster and more efficiently than a traditional skin graft.
Pennsylvania state police officer Matthew Uram suffered severe second-degree burns to his face, right arm and leg after a friend’s bonfire got out of control. Uram was facing months of painful skin grafts, the standard treatment in wound care for burns.
But instead, he was one of the first patients to be treated with RenovaCare’s stem-cell-spraying SkinGun.
The device uses a sample of stem cells collected from a patient’s healthy skin, which health practitioners isolate and place into a water-based solution in a syringe, which is then attached to the SkinGun.
The SkinGun guides the cells through the syringe and into an airstream, creating a gentle mist that’s sprayed over the patient’s wounds. Treatment takes just 90 minutes.
