For challenging hernia repair, choose AlloDerm® Regenerative Tissue Matrix
AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix is derived from cadaveric dermis and undergoes non-damaging proprietary processing that removes cells. The use of AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix provided a strong hernia repair, which may help optimize surgical outcomes.
AlloDerm® Regenerative Tissue Matrix allows for tissue regeneration by supporting rapid revascularization, white cell migration and cell repopulation, all of which may lead to increased resistance to infection at the surgical site, as shown in an animal model.* AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix ultimately transitions into host tissue for a strong, natural repair.
