Tissue derived porous matrices for treating wounds are provided, as well as methods for making and using them. The tissue derived porous matrices comprise processed tissue of any of several types, such as placenta, dermis, etc., and have a plurality of interconnected pores which allow fluid flow through the matrices. The tissue derived matrices are biocompatible resorbable matrices which remodel with native tissue and facilitate and enhance cell infiltration and tissue ingrowth into the matrices during the wound healing process, thereby enhancing wound healing and tissue remodeling when implanted into a patient. The tissue derived matrices are useful with negative pressure wound healing methods and systems, without the need to repeatedly revisit the treatment site and remove previously implanted matrices. |
