Acellular dermal matrices refer to biologic products derived from human or porcine dermis that have had resident cellular components removed, leaving behind an intact collagen-elastin matrix. They are used primarily in plastic and reconstructive surgery as a tissue grafting material to support and augment soft tissue repair and regeneration. Common procedures where acellular dermal matrices are used include breast reconstruction, treatment of abdominal hernia, lip and cheek augmentation, ... Read more
Acellular dermal matrices are human or animal-derived tissue matrices that are used to reinforce and repair soft tissues and organs. They serve as an ideal scaffold for tissue regeneration by providing a substrate on which new cell and tissue growth can occur. Acellular dermal matrices offer advantages over autografts such as reduced morbidity, greater availability of graft material, and elimination of additional surgery for harvesting the graft material.
