Used in challenging hernia and abdominal wall repair and breast reconstruction postmastectomy procedures, AlloDerm^® Regenerative Tissue Matrix supports tissue regeneration and transforms into host tissue for a natural repair and a safe and clinically optimal outcome. Its benefits include:

Challenging hernia repair

• Strong abdominal wall repair - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix is as strong as synthetics, yet far more pliable, and has superior suture retention strength when compared to other commercially available biological materials.

• Reduced risk of infection - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix supports rapid revascularization, which can minimize the risk of infection; supports revascularization through existing vascular channels and new blood vessel formation; and allows white blood cells to migrate to the site.

• Allows local treatment in the setting of infection or exposure - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix facilitates surgical intervention without removing the implant in most cases, and minimizes the likelihood of additional procedures and associated loss of soft tissue.

• Resists adhesion formations to bowel - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix minimizes hernia repair complications such as bowel obstructions and fistulas, and allows for simpler future surgeries in the abdominal area.

Breast reconstruction postmastectomy

• Optimizes aesthetic outcomes - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix provides additional tissue for breast implant coverage, helps control breast implant location, may hide implant visibility and allows for a more natural-looking breast reconstruction.

• Helps to enable direct-to-implant procedure - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix provides a larger implant pocket; it also may allow for immediate expansion and may reduce the total number of expansions necessary.

• Minimizes risk of some complications - AlloDerm^® Tissue Matrix may help mask breast implant palpability; may help prevent extrusion of implant, skin flap thinning and pectoralis major muscle retraction; and eliminates the need to elevate the serratus muscle.
