AlloMend Acellular Dermal Matrix Allograft in Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction

AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix is a sterile, ready to use, human-derived acellular dermal matrix (ADM) allograft that can be used in a number of reconstructive and other surgical procedures. It is made from donated human full-thickness skin. After the epidermal and hypodermal layers are removed, the tissue is treated by a proprietary cleansing process.

AlloMend® is intended to be used in conjunction with a breast implant or tissue expander to stabilize implant position and minimize implant loss during post-single or double mastectomy, unilateral or bilateral pre-pectoral breast reconstruction in women 18 years of age or older. AlloMend® may be used in either one-stage (direct-to-implant) or two-stage (expander-to-implant) procedures.
