Selphyl® is an FDA cleared Class II medical device (through a license with Cascade Medical Enterprises, LLC) for the safe, rapid collection and preparation of Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix from a small sample of blood.
Anthony Atala, MD, director of WFIRM stated, "It is a pleasure to work with Dr. Batra and his team in exploring the biology and potential applications of Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix as a stand alone or combination therapy to help patients.” Sanjay Batra, PhD, President and CEO of Aesthetic Factors noted, "I deeply admire the pioneering work of Dr. Atala and his team. The opportunity to evaluate our technology at WFIRM marks a tremendous moment for our company."
