AlloMend Acellular Dermal Matrix Allograft in Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction

A Retrospective Study To Evaluate The Safety And Effectiveness Of AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix Used In Post Mastectomy Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction And Followed For Up To 6-Months Post-Operatively.

This is a single-center, retrospective study which will be used to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix allograft for patients that have undergone Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction surgery following a single or double mastectomy.

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.
