An Overview- AlloDerm Skin Graft Mesh
AlloDerm is a skin graft used primarily in hernia surgeries, breast reconstruction procedures and burn treatment. This innovative skin graft mesh was developed in 1994 as an alternative to skin grafting. It works by using skin tissue from cadavers to stimulate new cell growth, which helps speed up recovery after medical procedures. Unfortunately, procedures using AlloDerm also carry serious risks which can lead to permanent injuries.
