Wound Graft TCO Calculator
Unit price is the first 30% of the answer. This calculator surfaces the true cost per healed patient by combining list price, applications per episode, expected healing rate, and waste exposure. Run it against any product on your formulary.
Inputs
Expired/damaged stock as % of supply spend. Typical 2–15%.

How to read this
- Cost per healed patient is the per-outcome number to compare across products. A higher unit price with fewer applications and lower waste often wins.
- Waste cost is where lyophilized vs. cryopreserved format choice matters most. See the cryo vs. lyophilized guide.
- Applications per episode typically ranges from 5 (dual-layer dHACM) to 12 (single-layer amnion). LCD frequency limits may cap covered applications — see the reimbursement playbook.
- For multi-vendor comparison, run the calculator twice and compare cost-per-healed.
This is a planning tool. Real-world costs depend on your specific contract pricing, payer mix, and LCD coverage. For a formal procurement analysis with your contract pricing baked in, request a custom TCO review.
