Embracing Innovation: A New Era in Healing Support

Wounds resulting from skin cancer excision, especially via Mohs surgery, can be complex. Whether the area is too large, too tight, or the patient has risk factors that complicate healing, traditional methods may not be ideal. CYGNUS® Dual offers an advanced, non-surgical solution that supports natural recovery without the need for graft harvesting or secondary surgical sites.

Healing Power from Placental Tissue

CYGNUS® Dual is composed of dehydrated human amniotic membrane, retaining vital extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, growth factors, and cytokines that encourage cellular repair.

It supports second intention healing by acting as a biologic dressing — protecting and nourishing the wound while being naturally resorbed by the body over time.

Its dual-layered design allows for application on either side, giving providers flexibility when treating complex or sensitive areas.

Why Patients and Providers Choose CYGNUS® Dual

  • Supports healing when surgical closure isn’t ideal
  • Minimizes scarring and discomfort
  • Avoids secondary donor site wounds
  • Naturally resorbed — no need for removal
  • Suitable for high-risk patients with comorbidities
