Based on the product description I came to the determination
that the product was Epicel. This product is a cultured epidermal
autografts use in both adults and children who suffer from 30%
burns on their body. This product was authorized by the FDA as a
Humanitarian Device ( HDE# BH990200) and approved on March 18,
2016. Manufactured by Vericel Corporation and Genzyme (Sanofi),
Epicel is first in its class treatment that can be use in
conjunction with split thickness autografts or alone depending on
the severity of the patient burns. A postage stamp-sized sample of
a patient own healthy skin is used to grow or culture the grafts.
Irradiated mouse cells, also known as 3T3 cells, are employed in
this culture method to stimulate cell proliferation and ensure that
a sufficient number of grafts are accessible for therapy as soon as
possible.
