HHP (High Hydrostatic Pressure) Decellularization

A physical method that maximizes native ECM biological integrity — not a chemical process that compromises it

Why It Matters

HHP's Essence: Preserve, Not Compromise

High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) decellularization applies uniform isostatic pressure of 600–1000 MPa to precisely disrupt cell membranes while producing minimal perturbation to the extracellular matrix's three-dimensional protein network, growth factors, and microstructure. This fundamentally improves the safety and functionality of the material.

From Source Tissue to High-Bioactivity ECM: Five-Step Process

01

Tissue Harvesting & Preparation

Qualified source tissues selected and pre-processed to rigorous quality standards

02

HHP Treatment — Precise Decellularization, Full ECM Preservation

Tissues undergo isostatic treatment at 600–1000 MPa. Pressure uniformly applied in all directions precisely disrupts cell membranes while ECM protein networks and microstructure remain fully intact — with no chemical agents involved

03

Washing & Purification — Remove Immunogens, Preserve Bioactivity

Thorough removal of cellular debris, DNA fragments, and immunogenic components while maximally preserving growth factors, matrix proteins, and bioactive signaling molecules within the ECM

04

Quality Verification

Each batch verified across multiple key quality parameters before release: DNA residue, GAG retention rate, and structural integrity testing

05

Custom Preservation & Delivery

Materials processed by lyophilization, irradiation sterilization, or wet preservation per partner requirements, balancing bioactivity and stability
