What is Alloderm®?

AlloDerm in technical terms is an acellular dermal matrix derived from donated human skin that undergoes a multi-step proprietary process that removes both the epidermis and the cells that can lead to tissue rejection. More simply put, it is donated human skin that has been treated to remove the cells that cause rejection. It was introduced in 1994 to our medical colleagues to treat burn victims and it is now widely used in many medical procedures. The procurement and processing of the material is strictly controlled for safety. Details on the process and more information on Alloderm® can be found at www.biohorizons.com/alloderm.aspx
