Some wounds just won’t quit. You dress them, clean them, wait… and nothing happens. That’s where biologic skin substitutes step in. They don’t just sit there. They guide, protect, and give the body a nudge in the right direction. In the United States, clinics are leaning on these products more than ever. Faster healing, fewer setbacks, less frustration. Simple.
Semper Fi Medical, a Veteran-owned company, delivers a range of these substitutes. They’re precise, dependable, and made for real-life clinic situations—not some theoretical lab setup.
What Are Biologic Skin Substitutes?
Think of them as helpful scaffolds. They’re made from human or placental tissue. They carry proteins and growth factors that tell your cells how to behave. Your skin, your blood vessels, your cells—all get a roadmap.
Why doctors like them:
- Speeds up healing
- Reduces inflammation
- Protects from infection
- Works for stubborn chronic wounds and surgical wounds alike
It’s not magic, but it feels close.
Where They Work Best
These products show up everywhere wounds need a hand:
- Diabetic foot ulcers – tricky, slow to close, painful
- Venous leg ulcers – often stubborn, annoying
- Pressure injuries – bedsore problems
- Surgical or post-operative wounds – sometimes complicated
- Trauma wounds – cuts, lacerations, donor sites
Basically, if a wound is misbehaving, a biologic substitute is worth a look.

| Product | Type | What’s Special | Best For |
| AdvoGraft One | Amniotic membrane | Room temp stable, easy to handle | Chronic wounds, DFUs, VLUs |
| AmchoPlast | Dehydrated placental allograft | Structural scaffold, preserves growth factors | Surgical wounds, trauma |

AdvoGraft One
Simple, reliable, and ready when you are. No thawing, no fuss. You just grab it, apply it, done. Perfect for chronic wounds that have stubbornly refused to close. It’s like giving your patient’s skin a push in the right direction.
AmchoPlast
This one’s beefier. Gives wounds a real structural scaffold. Think of it as a tiny framework under the skin, guiding new tissue in. Surgical wounds, trauma, chronic ulcers—they all get help. Growth factors? Still intact. Cells get all the instructions they need.
Membrane Wrap & Membrane Wrap Lite
These are the flexible options. Standard Membrane Wrap for the big, tricky wounds. Membrane Wrap Lite for smaller areas or when you want speed without extra bulk. Both keep the natural tissue structure, making healing smoother and faster.
Xcell Amnio Matrix
This one’s the crowd favorite for chronic wounds. Lyophilized and room temperature stable, dual-sided (so you can slap it on without thinking about which way is up). It supports epithelialization, blood vessel growth, and tissue regeneration. Basically, it works quietly in the background while your patient heals.
Safety and Handling
All Semper Fi products are sterile, minimally processed, and meet FDA standards.
Tips for use:
- Keep at room temperature unless packaging says otherwise
- Apply with aseptic technique
- Cut to fit, no need to stress over shape

FAQs
How long can I store them before use?
They’re generally room temperature stable for months, so no freezer juggling. Just grab and go when needed.
Are any of these products reusable once applied?
No, all are single-use for safety and sterility, so each wound gets a fresh, uncontaminated graft.
Do patients feel pain when these substitutes are applied?
Minimal discomfort is typical. Most patients notice it’s gentler than traditional packing or graft procedures.
Can biologic skin substitutes be used alongside negative pressure wound therapy?
Yes, they often work well under NPWT, providing scaffolding while suction encourages fluid removal and faster closure.
Are there special disposal rules for these grafts?
No complicated steps, just treat them like any other sterile tissue product.
