Why choose LifeCell Tissue Matrices for breast reconstruction postmastectomy?
With more than one million successful grafts and implants to date, AlloDerm® Regenerative Tissue Matrix is the proven solution for soft-tissue repair procedures including breast reconstruction postmastectomy. AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix promotes rapid revascularization, white cell migration and cell repopulation - supporting tissue regeneration and ultimately transforming into host tissue.
A substantial and growing body of evidence exists supporting the successful use of AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix in breast reconstruction surgery. In 2001, Dr. C. Andrew Salzberg pioneered the use of AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix for direct-to-implant (single-stage) breast reconstruction. Since that time, Dr. Salzberg has presented his successful methods and results to surgeons all over the world, helping to expand the range of tools available for breast reconstruction surgery. Today, the use of AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix in breast reconstruction is supported by more peer-reviewed papers than have been published for all other competing products combined. (The first peer-reviewed research for any competing product was not published until 2008.)
The use of AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix continues to increase among surgeons performing breast reconstruction postmastectomy - effectively revolutionizing the field of device-based breast reconstruction. And with the introduction of Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix reconstructive tissue matrix in 2008, LifeCell’s next generation product for soft-tissue repair, surgeons now have an additional option offering enhanced ease of use.
The efficacy of LifeCell’s tissue matrix products begins with our patented tissue matrix technology, a multi-step proprietary process (link to http://preview.lifecell.com/AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix/95/ science story) through which the cellular components that can lead to tissue rejection and graft failure are removed from the original donor tissue. What remains are the critical biochemical and structural components that create a natural framework for the body’s tissue regeneration process - enabling surgeons to avoid the problems associated with other soft-tissue repair materials (resorption, encapsulation) and achieve a soft, strong, natural repair.
